This case is an example of how Adaptiiv’s software can be used to create customized HDR applicators for skin brachytherapy, particularly for challenging sites with extreme curvature. ...
Traditionally, transperineal biopsies have been performed using a stepper, stabilizer and brachytherapy grid. The holes on the grid dictate where the needle may go, but because the grid is fixed, it means the physician will puncture the perineum at multiple different sites, especially so with systematic sampling.2 Although the grid method allows for some sort of ...
Building on that success, we recently integrated VeraForm into our APBI program with the SAVI® brachytherapy catheter system. APBI is increasing in popularity among patients across the country, particularly given that less fractions mean less visits for them. ...
We are filled with optimism knowing that each milestone along our journey represents new hope for patients with brain tumors. 2019 SCIENTIFIC AND BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENTS Completing our $10 Million Series A financing for commercialization Publishing the meningioma data subset in the prestigious Journal of Neurosurgery Winning the AZ Bio Fast Lane Award for achievements in 2018 and 2019 ...
Aim of the present work is to estimate the dose enhancement during external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy in tissues loaded with different GNP concentrations. We developed two Monte Carlo simulations in GEANT4: one reproducing a medical Linac operating at 6 MV, irradiating a volume of soft tissue containing GNP–doped sub–volumes at various depths; the second one ...
This paper presents the two new palladium brachytherapy sources, IR03- 103 Pd and IR04- 103 Pd that have been developed at Agricultural, Medical & Industrial Research School . ...
We show that the low dose-rate hyper-radiosensitivity of IDRE can have a significant influence on cell killing in low dose-rate brachytherapy if the tumour tissues and/or the peripheral tissues and organs experience IDRE. ...
