Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of Tc-Besilesomab to diagnose infectious processes by using monoclonal antibodies BW 250/183 in a semi-quantitative analysis, and to determine the effect on diagnostic capacity of different thresholds for the difference between counts in early delayed images.
Methods: The study included 77 patients with suspected osteomyelitis who underwent scintigraphy with Tc-Besilesomab. After confirming the absence of human anti-mouse antibodies in all patients, early and delayed static images were acquired at 4 and 24 h post-injection, respectively.
Early-stage lung cancer is crucial clinically due to its insidious nature and rapid progression. Most of the prediction models designed to predict tumour recurrence in the early stage of lung cancer rely on the clinical or medical history of the patient. However, their performance could likely be improved if the input patient data contained genomic information.

Methods: To that end, a staggered irradiation cycle has been applied which included dose rate values from 0.81 to 4.
Purpose: To study the response of the ArcCHECK® device as VMAT and IMRT verification system.
Methods: Various tests analyzing the linearity, the repeatability and the angular dependence of the device response, its dependence with the pulse repetition rate and the leakage losses were performed. The long-term response in dose measurements and the uniformity of the detectors conforming the system were controlled using a statistical process control program.
