2. 6. Evaluation of absorbed dose and image quality in mammography

   Author : Bengt Hemdal; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; optically stimulated luminescence; radioluminescence; in vivo dosimetry; dose reduction; dose protocol; average glandular dose; absorbed dose; Breast cancer; mammography; Monte Carlo; image quality; image quality criteria; contrast-detail phantom;

   Abstract : Mammography refers to the X-ray examination of the human breast, and is considered the single most important diagnostic tool in the early detection of breast cancer, which is by far the most common cancer among women. There is good evidence from clinical trials, that mammographic screening can reduce the breast cancer mortality with about 30%. READ MORE

   Abstract : Lung diseases continue to present a large burden to public health, especially in industrialized countries. For abetter understanding of the underlying patho-mechanisms in lung related diseases as well as for testing theefficacy of novel therapies, preclinical studies in animal models are indispensable.

5. 8. Electropermeabilization in Experimental Tumour Treatment: Dosimetry and Tissue Effects

   Author : Per Engström; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; liver; electroporation; ischemia; Electropermeabilization; ECT; Tumor; 111-In-BLMC; 99m-Tc-DTPA; glioma; rat; electric pulses; Impedance spectrometry; treatment; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Short, electric high-voltage pulses can be used to transiently increase the permeability of cell membranes without significant loss of cell viability. During this period of time, extracellular and normally non-permeant, molecules are accessed the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. READ MORE

6. 9. Development of Experimental Brachytherapy Dosimetry Using Monte Carlo Simulations for Detector Characterization

   Author : Vaiva Kaveckyte; Åsa Carlsson Tedgren; Alexandr Malusek; Hamza Benmakhlouf; Jan Seuntjens; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dosimetry; brachytherapy; solid-state detectors; Monte Carlo;

   Abstract : Brachytherapy (BT) is a type of interventional radiotherapy that is advantageous due to high absorbed dose conformity and possibility to deliver high dose in few fractions. It is often used for prostate and gynecological tumors as monotherapy or a boost alongside external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). READ MORE

7. 10. In vivo dosimetry of aldehydes and studies on the origin of malonaldehyde

   Author : Antti Kautiainen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Aldehydes are electrophilic reagents that bind to nucleophilic sites in macromolecules andmany of them have been shown to possess cytotoxic and genotoxic properties.The aim of this study was to develop an analytical method for the measurement of reactionproducts (adducts) of aldehydes with hemoglobin (Hb) and to apply this method for in vivodosimetry of endogenously formed aldehydes, particularly malonaldehyde (MA).
