Microscope-Integrated OCT-Assisted Real-time Monitoring of Central Corneal Thickness During Corneal Cross-linking.

Purpose: To assess real-time intraoperative pachymetry changes occurring during corneal cross-linking (CXL) using microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography (Mi-OCT) and compare accuracy of various modalities of pachymetry assessment.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational comparative study including 45 consecutive patients with progressive keratoconus planned for CXL. Mi-OCT (RESCAN 700) was used to measure central corneal thickness (CCT) during four stages of CXL: before epithelial debridement, after debridement, after riboflavin instillation, and after ultraviolet irradiation.

Analysis of fetal dose using Optically Simulated Luminescence Dosimeter and ion chamber in randophantom for various radiotherapy techniques.

To analyse the fetal dose in all three trimesters in patients treated for brain tumors during pregnancy, a modified rando phantom representing three different trimesters was used with provisions for insertion of ion-chamber and Optically Simulated Luminescence Dosimeter (OSLD). The measurement regions were chosen at the level of fundus, umbilicus and pubis. Seven different treatment plans with 6FF and 6FFF beam energies were generated.

Dose Estimation Using Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeter and EBT3 Films for Various Treatment Techniques in Alderson Rando Phantom and Estimation of Secondary Cancer Incidence for Carcinoma of Left Breast.

Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the dose to planning target and organ at risk (OAR) using Alderson Rando phantom for various treatment techniques in left breast radiotherapy and to estimate the secondary cancer incidence.

Materials And Methods: Eleven different combinations of plans containing four techniques (three dimensional conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy [IMRT], volumetric modulated arc therapy [VMAT], and combination of 3DCRT and VMAT plans (HYBRID)) were created with 6 MV FF and 6 MV FFF (flattening filter and flattening filter-free) photon energies in phantom. Planned target volume and OAR doses in 23 different locations were measured using optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter (OSLD) and EBT3 films.
