Houston Methodist has integrated two 7D Flash Navigation Systems to improve surgical navigation.  The installation of the systems, which was led by Paul Holman, MD, provides more efficient and ...

The IAEA has developed a brachytherapy dosimetry methodology which serves as the basis for a new audit service provided by the Agency’s Dosimetry Laboratory. For millions of cancer patients around the ...

Automation seeks to improve the reliability and quality of processes. This study aims to automate high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT), a radiation therapy that places radioactive sources at the site ...

Moreover, careful patient selection was crucial when considering primary dental implants in patients with HNC. For primary implants, it was recommended to wait at least six months after radiotherapy ...

The radiation is gradually released over a number of months. Or you might have a higher dose of radiation. The radioactive source stays inside the prostate for about 15 to 40 minutes. This is called ...

Intraoperative open-cavity implant (IOCI) technique for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using HDR multicatheter brachytherapy for breast cancer patients with small breasts. Authors: K.

Instead, the Cocoa resident sailed through radiation in a “business” week, thanks to SAVI (Strut Adjusted Volume Implant), an advanced form of radiation therapy that can be completed in as ...

Doctors refer to internal radiation therapy as brachytherapy. They administer brachytherapy via an implant in the body, which they often place in the cervix, uterus, or vagina to treat cervical ...

In HDR brachytherapy, the radiation is more intense. It's given the same way as LDR, but a higher dose of radiation is given over hours instead of days. Because the applicator is in for a shorter ...

Specifically, HDR patients QOL urinary domain scores rebounded to 79.0 versus 69.4 for LDR patients at 3 months and 84.0 versus 76.9 at 6 months (both P <0.001).

Once the radiation is spent, the ELP biogel safely degrades into harmless amino acids. The treatment was tested in combination with a common chemotherapy drug called paclitaxel.

It’s not a question of which type of radiation therapy is best in general, but rather which therapy is best for the patient’s specific disease and quality-of-life concerns. We want to use the most ...
