2020-363 ROTATIONAL INTENSITY MODULATION FOR ULTRA HIGH DOSE RATE (FLASH) X-RAY DOSE DELIVERY
Summary: UCLA researchers in the Department of Radiation Oncology have developed a collimation device that can achieve ultrafast delivery and complex dose modulation for x-ray radiotherapy. Background: Radiotherapy aims to treat and control the growth of tumors via exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation. While it is generally effective, it...

Self-forming in vivo dosimeter for radiation therapy verification
­Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the most common treatment modalities for cancer and is used in approximately 50% of all treatment plans. It's estimated that RT is responsible for more than 3.5 million successful treatment outcomes along with another 3.5 million for palliative care. Although RT effectively kills cancer, it can cause damage...

Solid Phantom Device for Beam Scanning
Project ID:D2021-29 Radiation therapy is a common curative procedure to treat cancer. The goal of radiation therapy is to expose the tumor to a sufficient dose of radiation so as to eradicate all cancer cells. The radiation dose is often close to the tolerance level of the normal body tissues. It is, therefore, necessary to determine the dosage levels...
