Jacqueline Hewett[email protected]Radiation Oncology/TherapyQA records shed light on radiotherapy patient errorsThe computerization of radiation therapy planning and treatment can be a double-edged sword, both reducing and increasing the risk of errors. But computerization does make treatment safer, according to a 10-year analysis of errors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.May 16, 2012Radiation Oncology/TherapyTiny oxygen generator boosts radiotherapyA tiny oxygen generator that can be implanted directly into the hypoxic center of tumors using a biopsy needle has been unveiled by researchers in the U.S. The micro-oxygen generator could potentially improve the efficacy of radiotherapy.November 1, 2011Radiation Oncology/TherapySoftware estimates motion effects for proton dose planningTumor motion due to respiration is a serious problem when it comes to ensuring that a scanned proton beam delivers the planned dose to a given target volume. Now, software simulating the delivery of a scanning proton beam to a moving lung tumor is resolving this problem.October 31, 2011Radiation Oncology/TherapyGold nanoparticles boost radiotherapy efficacyBy using gold nanoparticles with conventional megavoltage x-rays, researchers are predicting that tumor vasculature will receive a significant enhancement in local dose. Not only could this dose boost promote vascular shutdown in tumors, the hope is that it will suppress metastases and improve patient outcomes.February 16, 2011Page 1 of 1Top StoriesCTBoth standard and ultrahigh resolution modes effective for PCCT CCTAThe study findings will help clinicians optimize protocols for coronary CT angiography using photon-counting detectors.AssociationsACR, MGMA respond to U.S. House, Senate passing 'Big, Beautiful Bill'InterventionalGAE with stem cells effective for knee osteoarthritisUltrasoundCan lung ultrasound predict delirium in elderly COVID-19 patients?MRIAI algorithm identifies patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest
