X‐ray mammography of the compressed breast is well recognized as the “gold standard” for
early detection of breast cancer, but its performance is not ideal. One limitation of screening …

Dedicated breast CT is being increasingly used for breast imaging. This technique provides
images with no compression, removal of tissue overlap, rapid acquisition, and available …

Purpose: Monte Carlo methods were used to generate lightly filtered high resolution x‐ray
spectra spanning from 20 kV to 640 kV. Methods: X‐ray spectra were simulated for a …

MariX is a research infrastructure conceived for multi-disciplinary studies, based on a cutting-
edge system of combined electron accelerators at the forefront of the world-wide scenario of …

Purpose We investigated the dose enhancement and internalization of gold nanoparticles
(AuNPs) used as a radiosensitizer agent for rotational radiotherapy of breast cancer using a …

Kilovoltage (kV) x-rays are most commonly used for diagnostic imaging due to their
sensitivity to tissue composition. In radiation therapy (RT), due to their fast attenuation, kV x …

Purpose We performed the first investigations, via measurements and Monte Carlo
simulations on phantoms, of the feasibility of a new technique for synchrotron radiation …

Purpose To determine the most suitable lesion size and depth for radiotherapy treatments
with a prototype kilovoltage x‐ray arc therapy (KVAT) system through Monte Carlo …

Purpose We investigated the feasibility of kilovoltage rotational radiotherapy for breast
cancer (kV-EBRT) via Monte Carlo simulations and measurements on phantoms. Methods …

Objective. To create two non-coplanar, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) lung
patient treatment plans compliant with the radiation therapy oncology group (RTOG) 0813 …
