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 ...

In definitive radiotherapy, reducing the elective dose from 50 Gy to 43 Gy was safe and did not significantly increase the risk for recurrence in electively irradiated lymph nodes among patients with ...

In a randomized clinical trial, researchers from Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) have found that short-course, higher dose vaginal brachytherapy for endometrial cancer had ...

The evaluation of radiation dose in positron emission tomography (PET) is an essential component of modern nuclear medicine. Accurate dosimetric assessment ensures that the diagnostic benefits of PET ...

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 ...

Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high doses of radiation to damage cancer cells, either killing them or slowing their growth. Unlike the low-dose radiation used in X-rays to see inside the ...

A single course of low-dose radiation therapy may provide a safe and effective alternative treatment option for people with painful knee osteoarthritis according to a new randomized, ...

A Nuclear Medicine technologist monitors a patient going through a nuclear medicine scan in a positron emission tomography (PET) at the Molecular Radiotherapy Service at University College London ...
