Skin Dosimetry with EBT3 Radiochromic Film in Radiotherapy of Parotid Cancer.

Background: Skin is a sensitive organ and should be spared in radiotherapy and irradiation of skin in radiotherapy can cause to acute and late skin effects such as erythema, desquamation, epilation, color change, or even necrosis.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to do skin dosimetry in radiotherapy of parotid cancer using Gafchromic EBT3 radiochromic film. EBT3 radiochromic films were calibrated in 0.

Assessment of skin dose in breast cancer radiotherapy: on-phantom measurement and Monte Carlo simulation.

Aim: The main purpose of the present study is assessment of skin dose in breast cancer radiotherapy.

Background: Accurate assessment of skin dose in radiotherapy can provide useful information for clinical considerations.

Materials And Methods: A RANDO phantom was irradiated using a 6 MV Siemens Primus linac with medial and tangential radiotherapy fields for simulating breast cancer treatment.

Antioxidant efficacy of soybean cake extracts in soy oil protection.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence and possibility of extracting compounds with antioxidant properties of soybean cake to extend the storage stability of soybean oil. Results showed that the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed for sample to solvent ratio 1:25 while extracting by 70% ethanol for 3 h). The most phenolic compounds equivalents (Gallic acid) was observed for sample to solvent ratio 1:25 while extracting by 70% methanol for 14 h.
