Hydrogen nanobubbles: A novel approach toward radio-sensitization agents.

Background: Ocular melanoma is a rare kind of eye malignancy that threatens the patient's eyesight. Radiotherapy and surgical removal are the most commonly used therapeutic modalities, and nanomedicine has lately entered this field. Brachytherapy using Ruthenium-106 ( Ru) ophthalmic plaques has been used for decades to treat ocular melanoma, with the applicator placed on the patient's eyes until the prescribed dose reaches the tumor apex.

A novel approach to classify urinary stones using dual-energy kidney, ureter and bladder (DEKUB) X-ray imaging.

Objectives: Detection of urinary stone composition before treatment can help in its management. The purpose of this work is to study the feasibility of classifying the kidney stone compositions in vivo by dual-energy kidney, ureter, and bladder (DEKUB) X-ray imaging.

Methods: Six urinary stone compositions with nine diameters were simulated in a water phantom, and two 70- and 120-kVp images were acquired by radiography tally of the Monte Carlo code.

Proposition of a practical protocol for obtaining a valid radiology image using radiography tally of MCNPX Monte Carlo Code.

Background And Objective: Over the past years, Monte Carlo codes have widespread use in the radiation research field. Radiography tally of MCNPX Monte Carlo code can be a popular and applicable tool for simulation of radiography images. However, validation is the most important prerequisite before using its results.
