INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT): DIFFERENCES IN TARGET VOLUMES AND IMPROVEMENT IN CLINICALLY RELEVANT DOSES TO SMALL BOWEL IN RECTAL CARCINOMA

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT): differences in target volumes and improvement in clinically relevant doses to small bowel in rectal carcinoma

Abstract Background A strong dose-volume relationship exists between the amount of small bowel receiving low- to intermediate-doses of radiation and the rates of acute, severe gastrointestinal toxicity, principally diarrhea.There is considerable interest in the application of highly conformal treatment approaches, such as intensity-modulated radiat

Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for Chronic Subdural Hematoma

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common disease process associated with significant morbidity that occurs most often in elderly patients.Asymptomatic patients are typically treated conservatively, with surgical intervention reserved for patients with symptomatic and/or large hematomas that cause brain compression.However, conservatively manage
