Electron beam therapy at extended source-to-surface distance: a monte carlo investigation
O'Shea, Tuathan P.; Foley, Mark J.; Rajasekar, David; Downes, Patrick A.; van der Putten, Wil; Moore, Margaret; Shearer, Andrew (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-09-01)Electron-beam therapy is used to treat superficial tumors at a standard 100 cm source-to-surface distance (SSD). However, certain clinical situations require the use of an extended SSD. In the present study, Monte Carlo ... -
Radiobiological modelling in Radiation Oncology
Walsh, Sean (2011-09-30)Biological models potentially o er the ability to predict the response of tumour control to irradiation. A tumour control probability (TCP) model with excellent radiobiological pedigree was developed and examined to predict ... -
A study of perceived workload and ‘Levels of Automation’ in low-dose rate brachytherapy
Galicic, Matjaz (2017-02-21)A study of perceived workload and ‘Levels of Automation’ (LOA) was performed at the ‘Treatment delivery’ stage of Low-Dose Rate (LDR) prostate brachytherapy, which is a modality of cancer treatment. Five research questions ... -
