Comparative analysis of fetal dose sparing between a C-arm linac and an O-ring linac in a SIB-VMAT sarcoma treatment for a pregnant patient: A technical note and case report.
J Appl Clin Med Phys
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York, USA.
Purpose: To compare the effect of two linacs designs on fetal dose sparing on a pregnant patient, including estimation of the fetal dose, and the effect of a lead apron.
Methods: A patient with a high-grade sarcoma located in the right knee/lower thigh was prescribed 51 Gy (1.7 Gy/Fx) with a simultaneous-integrated-boost (SIB) of 60 Gy to a smaller volume, starting in the 26th gestational week.
Three-dimensional radiation dosimetry of carbon ion beams using surfactant hydrogels: Fundamental investigation.
Med Phys

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, Kawasaki, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on using a surfactant hydrogel dosimeter (SHD) to accurately measure 3D absorbed dose distributions in carbon ion radiotherapy, which is important for targeting tumors effectively.
- The researchers set up a cubic target region and conducted carbon ion beam irradiation, measuring the response of the SHD using optical computed tomography to gather data about the absorbed dose.
- Results showed that the optical attenuation coefficients (OAC) measured were lower than the expected absorbed dose, indicating discrepancies that may affect precise dosimetry in treatment planning.
A Multiradionuclide Automatic Dispensing System for Syringes of Radiopharmaceuticals: The Effect on Operator Hand Dose.
J Nucl Med Technol
September 2024
Department of Nuclear Medicine, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The radiation exposure of the hands of nuclear medicine laboratory technicians is largely due to the dispensing of radiopharmaceuticals into syringes. To reduce this exposure, a multiradionuclide automatic dispensing system (ADS) for syringes of radiopharmaceuticals was introduced. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of this ADS on hand dose compared with manual dispensing.

Nuclear medicine (NM) professionals are potentially exposed to high doses of ionising radiation, particularly in the skin of the hands. Ring dosimeters are used by the workers to ensure extremity doses are kept below the legal limits. However, ring dosimeters are often susceptible to large uncertainties, so it is difficult to ensure a correct measurement using the traditional occupational monitoring methods.

Department of Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
The shielding parameters can vary depending on the geometrical structure of the linear accelerators (LINAC), treatment techniques, and beam energies. Recently, the introduction of O-ring type linear accelerators is increasing. The objective of this study is to evaluate the shielding parameters of new type of linac using a dedicated program developed by us named ORSE (O-ring type Radiation therapy equipment Shielding Evaluation).
