The framework allowing physicians and imaging developers to tailor the precise radiation dose to achieve a quantitative target of image quality for pediatric patients» care has been hailed as «a big step forward» by editors of the Journal of Medical Imaging.

Not exact matches

Conventional radiation with photons gave way to intensity - modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, in which more precise beams of photons could be moved dozens or hundreds of times with varying intensities, attacking tumors in three dimensions with safer high doses.

Now, researchers are hoping to improve this imaging technique, known as molecular breast imaging or breast specific gamma imaging, with better image quality and precise location (depth information) within the breast, while reducing the amount of radiation dose to the patient for these procedures.

To understand how cells respond to different doses of radiation, scientists need to direct precise amounts of energy to specific areas of the cell.

SBRT permits the precise and accurate delivery of high doses of radiation over a shorter period of time (typically 1 to 2 weeks) than with conventional radiation treatments.

Most of the experiments were done under precise conditions, at a wide range of radiation doses and usually for the lifetime of the animals.

Stereotactic radiotherapy destroys tumors with precise, very intense doses of radiation while limiting damage to healthy tissue, offering accuracy that is similar to the sharpness of a surgeon's knife.

On - board imaging equipment allows precise delivery of the radiation dose in stereotactic treatments.

Multiple treatments are administered in treating cancer with radiation, the precise schedule and number of doses are determined by the goals of treatment.

Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is the use of this very precise technology to deliver high doses of radiation in fewer treatments compared to conventional protocols.
