1. EVALUATION OF RADIATION DOSES USING CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR AND SCOLIOSIS PROCEDURES
University essay fromAbstract : Purpose: The study includes the two areas, vascular surgery and orthopedics, and focuses on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and scoliosis procedures. EVAR procedures contribute to a high radiation dose to the patient and for scoliosis procedures, it is often young girls that are undergoing surgery. READ MORE

2. Radiation protection measurements in clinical practice - Dosimetry with NaCl pellets
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Within the field of medical radiation protection, radiation safety and personal dosimetry, there is a constant pursuit for improving existing methods and evaluating new approaches for measuring and quantifying the radiation doses that hospital staff may be exposed to in their clinical work. There are numerous ways of determining what doses the staff are being exposed to and the most commonly used is based on thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLD) with e. READ MORE

4. The effect of concurrent radiation and calcium in two cancer cell lines
University essay from Lunds universitet/Medicinsk strålningsfysik, Lund; Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Introduction: Calcium is an important ubiquitous second messenger regarding the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and is therefore tightly regulated. Calcium induces cell death when internalised into cancer cells after permeabilization of the cell membrane by electroporation. READ MORE

5. Evaluation of the lithium formate EPR dosimetry system for dose measurements around 192Ir brachytherapy sources
University essay from Medicinsk strålningsfysik (tills m KI)Abstract : The dose distribution around brachytherapy (BT) sources is characterized by steep dose gradients and an energy spectrum varying rapidly with depth in water around the source. These two properties make experimental verification of the dose distribution difficult, and put high demands on the dosimetry system in use regarding precision, size and energy dependence. READ MORE
