Radiation therapy is one of the most effective treatments for many kinds of cancer, helping to destroy tumours and save lives. Because these treatments use high‑energy radiation directed at specific p ...

Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging. By capturing and amplifying tiny sound waves created when X-rays heat ...

CANCER TREATMENT CAN BE GRUELING, AND IT CAN ALSO MAKE FOR LONG DAYS. A NEW STUDY, THOUGH, SHOWS HIGHER DOSES OF RADIATION GIVEN OVER FEWER SESSIONS WAS AS EFFECTIVE AS BEING GIVEN LOWER DOSES OVER ...

Estimation of organ doses from internal and external exposures in health physics depends on computational models of the human body (phantoms), and Monte Carlo calculations ─ two tools that have seen ...

Cherenkov imaging is a valuable cancer treatment tool that can help doctors track and monitor radiation doses received by tissues during cancer therapy in real time. This imaging technique works by ...

In a new study published in Nature, researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center explore a surprising phenomenon in which high doses of radiation cause growth in ...
