Integrating cine EPID, dynamic delivery, and the off-axis Winston-Lutz test to enhance quality control in multiple brain metastasis stereotactic radiotherapy.

Purpose: Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has transformed cancer treatment, especially for brain metastases. Ensuring accurate SRT delivery is crucial, with the Winston-Lutz test being an important quality control tool. Off-axis Winston-Lutz (OAWL) tests are designed for accuracy assessment, but most are limited to fixed angles and hampered by local-field shifts caused by suboptimal Multi-Leaf Collimator (MLC) positioning.

Evaluation of the ability of the Brainlab Elements Cranial Distortion Correction algorithm to correct clinically relevant MRI distortions for cranial SRT.

Purpose: Cranial stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) requires highly accurate lesion delineation. However, MRI can have significant inherent geometric distortions. We investigated how well the Elements Cranial Distortion Correction algorithm of Brainlab (Munich, Germany) corrects the distortions in MR image-sets of a phantom and patients.

EYE LENS RADIATION EXPOSURE OF WORKERS DURING MEDICAL INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES AND SURGERY.

To evaluates the eye-lens radiation exposure of workers during medical interventional procedures and surgery in a military hospital as well as of the equine veterinarians. The measures represent the exposure in a normal workload schedule of ninety randomly selected workers over a 3-month period, extrapolated to 1 year. The eye-lens dosemeters were placed near the eye closest to the radiation source (Carinou, E.

Deployment of the DosiKit System Under Operational Conditions: Experience From a French Defense National Nuclear Exercise.

Estimation of the dose received by accidentally irradiated victims is based on a tripod: clinical, biological, and physical dosimetry. The DosiKit system is an operational and mobile biodosimetry device allowing the measurement of external irradiation directly on the site of a radiological accident. This tool is based on capillary blood sample and hair follicle collection.

DosiKit, a New Portable Immunoassay for Fast External Irradiation Biodosimetry.

DosiKit is a new field-radiation biodosimetry immunoassay for rapid triage of individuals exposed to external total-body irradiation. Here, we report on the validation of this immunoassay in human blood cell extracts 0.5 h after in vitro exposure to Cs gamma rays, using γ-H2AX analysis.
