Dose to the female breast from nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology

Creator:: Patel, Aarti
Abstract:: There has been increased concern about radiation dose to the female breasts, with approximately 200,000 new breast cancers being diagnosed each year in the United States. The unprecedented increase in the use of radiologic exams on younger women has also raised some additional concerns about how procedures are performed. The...

Hormesis effects in pinto beans from ⁶⁰Co gamma radiation

Creator:: Boone, Darren M.
Abstract:: Exposure to moderately high levels of ionizing radiation (<20 Gy) has in some instances shown a hormetic effect in numerous vegetable-type crops. Past experiments performed in outdoor cultivars have shown a somewhat unpredictable increase in growth rate with a higher overall yield in a specified time when the seeds are...

An experiment on the radioprotetive effect of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate on V-79 hamster lung cells

Creator:: Villamar, Glenda
Abstract:: Many experiments are being conducted to find compounds that offer radioprotection against radiation damage and that are also non-toxic. It is hopeful that in the future, research for this technology will benefit patients undergoing cancer treatment by reducing radiation damage to normal cells and therefore reducing short and long term...

Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe+26, Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV ¹³⁶Xe⁺²⁶

Creator:: Sadi, Supriyadi
Abstract:: Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....

Dose response of zebrafish exposed to gamma radiation

Creator:: Haskins, Hillary Kate Marlane
Abstract:: Space radiation biology is an emerging field of research with a focus on improving the health and safety of astronauts in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and deep-space missions. Eye health is especially important to astronaut functionality. Recent studies have found an increased risk of cataract formation in astronauts with higher lens...

Creation and Application of Voxelized Dosimetric Models : An Evaluation of Dose Conversion Factor in Apis Mellifera

Creator:: Gomez Fernandez, Mario Enrique
Abstract:: Over the past decade the International Commission on Radiological Protection has developed a comprehensive approach to environmental protection that includes the use of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) to assess radiological impacts on the environment. For the purposes of calculating radiation dose, the RAPs are approximated as simple shapes that...

A quantitative comparison of cardiovascular imaging systems with respect to the resolution capabilities and the resulting skin entrance doses operating in both fluoroscopic and cine mode

Creator:: Helms, W. Scott
Abstract:: The increasing use of medical procedures using ionizing radiation has increased significantly in recent years. In 1987, the National Council on Radiation Protection Report 93 (NCRP) reported that the average exposure ionizing radiation was 53mRem/year (0.53mSv/year). In their most recent study on radiation exposures NCRP Report 160 in 2009, the...

Blood-based gene expression as a biodosimetry model for neuroblastoma patients treated with ¹³¹I-mIBG

Creator:: Edmondson, David A.
Abstract:: Internal dosimetry is challenging and relies on estimates using MIRD or ICRP biokinetic models. To address this, we looked at gene expression analysis in whole blood from radiotherapy patients. Patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma who received ¹³¹I-mIBG at UCSF were used to correlate internal ionizing radiation (IR) dose with...

Beta-particle backscatter factors and energy-absorption scaling factors for use with dose-point kernels

Creator:: Mangini, Colby D.
Abstract:: 'Hot particle' skin dosimetry calculations are commonly performed using homogeneous dose-point kernels (DPK) in conjunction with scaling and backscatter models to account for non-homogeneous geometries. A new scaling model for determining the actual DPK for beta-particles transmitted by a high-Z source material has been developed. The model is based on...

Improvements in the dosimetric models of selected benthic organisms

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animal and plant (RAP) species using simple geometric shapes in Monte–Carlo (MCNP) based simulations. The focus has now shifted to creating voxel phantoms of each RAP to advance the understanding of radiation interactions in nonhuman biota. The work contained...
