Small-animal irradiation: dose comparisons

Published in MPW, 12 Feb 2014

Certain types of conformal small-animal radiotherapy systems can give higher radiation doses to critical organs if the target tumours are deep-seated, a US-based study has found. Although the study also found that all conformal systems are better for small tumours, it suggests that their characteristics ought to be studied further for their full advantage to be taken (Med. Phys.41 011710). […]
