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 StoriesISMRM 2024ISMRM: PET/MRI shows promise identifying musculoskeletal ‘pain generators’SINGAPORE -- PET/MRI is emerging as a viable tool for pinpointing locations of pain in people with chronic low back pain and persistent hip pain after total hip replacements.ISMRM 2024ISMRM: What's next for MRI applications for MSK trauma?Radiology EducationARRS: Consistent disparities found in radiology residency matchWomens ImagingARRS: DBT leads to less recalls among African American womenSponsor ContentWe care about what you think.
