Creator:: Makinson, Kevin A.
Abstract:: Tissue weighting factors, w[subscript T], used to convert equivalent dose to effective dose, account for differences in radiosensitivity of various organs in the human body and allow users to compare individual organ detriment to whole body risk. They are explicitly calculated in ICRP 26, 60, and 103, although the methods...

Creator:: Brumley, Willis E.
Abstract:: Use of solid compensators is a very effective means of implementing IMRT on any linear accelerator. The standard practice has been IMRT delivery using accelerators equipped with multi-leaf collimators (MLC’s). Truth is the addition of MLC’s to an accelerator is quite expensive. Previous studies have shown solid compensators to have...

Creator:: Van Wieren, Robert T.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: The frequency of C-arm fluoroscopy procedures is increasing and it has become prudent to increase the awareness of patient radiation exposure to minimize patient risk. There is a strong potential for variability in patient exposure levels and a need for minimizing unnecessary exposure. The variability in C-arm fluoroscopy can...

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...

Creator:: Bytwerk, David Paul
Abstract:: The results of a review of six decades of existing literature for 50% lethal dose data across a range of phyla are presented. The collected 50% lethal dose data is limited to adult organisms subjected to acute doses of gamma radiation. The data collected is examined to determine whether useful...

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...
