Aim: To demonstrate how workshop and mentoring across a network of radiotherapy centers helped in transitioning from point A to volume-based image guided brachytherapy in carcinoma cervix.
Materials And Methods: Based on discussion with different centers across the network, the lapses in cervical cancer treatment were identified and a workshop was designed to change the practice pattern. The main focus of the workshop was to streamline EBRT dose prescription protocols and implement volume based image guided brachytherapy through mentoring and hands on training.
Lithium niobate on insulator: an emerging nanophotonic crystal for optimized light control.

November 2024
Lithium niobate (LN) stands out as a versatile nonlinear optoelectronic material which can be directly applied in tunable modulators, filters, parametric amplifiers, and photonic integrated circuits. Recently, LN photonic crystals have garnered attention as a compelling candidate for incorporation into photonic integrated circuits, showcasing their potential in advancing the field. Photonic crystals possess a widely acknowledged capability to manipulate the transmission of light modes, similar to how nanostructures have been utilized to regulate electron-related phenomena.

- Peer review is crucial for quality assurance in radiation therapy, especially in low-middle-income countries (LMIC), where there is a growing need to maintain care standards with advanced technologies.
- A pilot study conducted in four cancer centers in India evaluated a cloud-based e-Peer review system, where healthcare team members were trained to review treatment cases weekly, focusing on key clinical aspects.
- Over three months, 100 cases were reviewed, resulting in various changes being suggested, with contouring errors being the primary reason for major revisions, demonstrating the feasibility and importance of peer review in improving treatment quality before therapy starts.
