Carbon ion beam dosimetry in magnetic fields using Farmer-type ionization chambers of different radii: measurements and simulations.

To investigate magnetic field effects on the dose distribution and ionization chambers response in carbon ion reference fields and determine magnetic field correction factors for chambers of different volumes.The response of six Farmer-type chambers with varying radii (1-6 mm, termed as R1-R6) was measured in magnetic fields up to 1 T in 0.1 T increments using an experimental electromagnet and compared with Monte Carlo simulations.

Proton beam dosimetry in the presence of magnetic fields using Farmer-type ionization chambers of different radii.

Background: Magnetic resonance-guided proton therapy is promising, as it combines high-contrast imaging of soft tissue with highly conformal dose delivery. However, proton dosimetry in magnetic fields using ionization chambers is challenging since the dose distribution as well as the detector response are perturbed.

Purpose: This work investigates the effect of the magnetic field on the ionization chamber response, and on the polarity and ion recombination correction factors, which are essential for the implementation of a proton beam dosimetry protocol in the presence of magnetic fields.

Information Architecture of Web-Based Interventions to Improve Health Outcomes: Systematic Review.

Background: The rise in usage of and access to new technologies in recent years has led to a growth in digital health behavior change interventions. As the shift to digital platforms continues to grow, it is increasingly important to consider how the field of information architecture (IA) can inform the development of digital health interventions. IA is the way in which digital content is organized and displayed, which strongly impacts users' ability to find and use content.
