Computational modelling of the cerebral cortical microvasculature: effect of x-ray microbeams versus broad beam irradiation.
(2017-05)
Microbeam Radiation Therapy is an innovative pre-clinical strategy which uses arrays of parallel, tens of micrometres wide kilo-voltage photon beams to treat tumours. These x-ray beams are typically generated on a synchrotron ...
Response Monitoring with [(18)F]FLT PET and Diffusion-Weighted MRI After Cytotoxic 5-FU Treatment in an Experimental Rat Model for Colorectal Liver Metastases.
(2017-08)
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and 3'-dexoy-3'-[(18)F]fluorothymidine ([(18)F]FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) as early ...
Tumor Delineation and Quantitative Assessment of Glucose Metabolic Rate within Histologic Subtypes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Using Dynamic <sup>18</sup>F Fluorodeoxyglucose PET.
(2017-05)
Purpose To assess whether dynamic fluorine 18 ( 18 F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has added value over static 18 F-FDG PET for tumor delineation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) radiation ...
The potential of <sup>223</sup>Ra and <sup>18</sup>F-fluoride imaging to predict bone lesion response to treatment with <sup>223</sup>Ra-dichloride in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(2017-10)
Purpose The aims of this study were to calculate bone lesion absorbed doses resulting from a weight-based administration of 223 Ra-dichloride, to assess the relationship between those doses and corresponding 18 F-fluoride ...
Radiotherapy in Dupuytren's disease: a systematic review of the evidence.
(2017-09)
Radiotherapy has been advocated as an alternative treatment in early Dupuytren's disease. We have systematically reviewed the evidence on the use of radiotherapy in Dupuytren's disease. Only six articles met a minimum set ...
<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT Optimizes Treatment in <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i> Bacteremia and Is Associated with Reduced Mortality.
(2017-09)
Metastatic infection is an important complication of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). Early diagnosis of metastatic infection is crucial, because specific treatment is required. However, metastatic infection can be ...
Opportunities for research in molecular radiotherapy.
(2017-03)
Cancer has been treated with radiopharmaceuticals for 80 years. A recent National Cancer Research Institute report from the Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group reviews the current status of ...
Practical recommendations for radium-223 treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(2017-09)
Purpose Radium Ra 223 dichloride (radium-223, Xofigo®) is the first targeted alpha therapy for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and symptomatic bone metastases. Radium-223 provides a new treatment option ...
Dosimetry-based treatment planning for molecular radiotherapy: a summary of the 2017 report from the Internal Dosimetry Task Force.
(2017-11-21)
BACKGROUND:The European directive on basic safety standards (Council directive 2013/59 Euratom) mandates dosimetry-based treatment planning for radiopharmaceutical therapies. The directive comes into operation February ...
