Individual dosimetry monitoring in a hospital environment is a key component of the radiation protection system, designed to measure and control the doses of ionizing radiation received by exposed workers. ...
VCAST has several advantages over the invasive procedure used to obtain FFR, including being non-invasive, safer because has a lower radiation dose, and is a time & cost-effective solution for the functional evaluation of stenosed vessels. ...
High relaxivity has in general the potential to enable a substantially lower gadolinium (Gd) dose. The study investigated the dose-response of gadoquatrane compared to a standard dose of gadobutrol, a well-established macrocyclic GBCA. ...

Hot spots deliver more radiation than is necessary, while cold spots may undertreat cancer in the gland. Very homogenous implants are possible with Cesium-131 due to the greater energy of Cesium-131 as compared to some other isotopes. By delivering a dose with Cesium-131 that lacks hot and cold spots and that spares the bladder and rectum, an effective ...
From the comfort of a control station shielded against radiation, the physician uses joysticks to remotely control the devices needed for the procedure, such as guidewires, balloons and stents. ...

Sanford, Florida (March 9, 2021) — Omega Medical Imaging, the leading innovator in AI image-guided interventional systems for hospitals and healthcare facilities around the world, released a radiation comparative study proving significant dose reduction is achieved when using AI image-guided systems compared to non-AI systems. The objective of this study ...
RTsafe is happy to announce that its PRIME and Pseudopatient 3D phantoms, have been selected by a consortium of high-end German Radiotherapy Institutions – led by the Division of Medical Physics of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Medical Center of University of Freiburg – towards supporting a study whose results will be used for the development of national ...

This energy is concentrated directly on the tumor while minimizing radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissue. Particle therapy improves the quality of life for cancer patients since the patient experiences no pain during treatment and the procedure has very few side effects compared to that of traditional radiotherapy. ...
The new software will potentially reduce radiation exposure in the operating room, minimizing the risk of cancer development for both patients and radiology staff. ...
The current standard of care for patients with operable malignant glioma tumors is surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Traditional radiation is delivered in as many as 30 treatments extending over a period of several weeks. ...
Food and Drug Administration 510(k) cleared imaging system that features the unique ability to instantly capture 3D images with very low-dose radiation. This approach makes the 3D images available throughout surgery, enabling real time visualization. ...
In addition, the Company will present a data update from four patients treated in the radiation sub-study of the Phase 1 trial with afami-cel (Abstract #376). ...
“During SITC, we will present translational data from the SURPASS trial with our next-gen therapy ADP-A2M4CD8, as well as clinical data from a sub-study combining low-dose radiation with afami-cel. These two trials represent investigational approaches to improving the potency of our SPEAR T-cells. ...
It is another important step forward as we continue to innovate and build on our position as a leader in prostate brachytherapy.” Entitled, Low dose rate brachytherapy for primary treatment of localized prostate cancer: A systemic review and executive summary of an evidence-based consensus statement, the findings are a “guideline intended to present evidence-based ...
Among the Koning Breast CT benefits are: Real 3D isotropic images No compression of the breasts Low radiation doses in same range as mammograms 10 second exposures Koning’s series C fundraise will enable the global expansion of the company, allowing more women to receive suitable exams. ...

This finding is especially important due to the potential complications that follow re-irradiation of recurrent head and neck cancer using external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Study authors noted that brachytherapy provides the possibility of optimal dose conformity with sharp dose fall-off that limits radiation ...
The key features of this landmark technology which moves flat 2 dimensional, compressed images away from mammography include: the elimination of painful compression; a common complaint of conventional mammography for the first time, presenting true, Isotropic 3-dimensional images in a natural undistorted view from compressing breast tissue multiplanar reconstruction allowing coregistration ...
“Digital SPECT MPI has been shown to add significant value in terms of patient exam image quality, radiation dose reduction, procedure speed, and new advanced applications,” explains Jim Haisler, vice president of global operations for Spectrum Dynamics Medical. ...
The patient-specific software application seeks to remove perceived issues and provide solutions in SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging, including attenuation artifacts, scatter, quantification accuracy, additional scanning and patient radiation exposure. “Clinicians today are looking for solutions that provide diagnostic results on their terms,” explains Nathaniel ...
