A chilling map from the Cold War era has resurfaced, predicting the areas of the US where 75% of the population would perish ...

A chilling map from the 1980s shows how up to 75% of the US could be wiped out in a nuclear war, with scientists using a ...

Purpose: Conventional contrast-enhanced MRI is currently the primary imaging technique used to evaluate radiation treatment response in meningiomas. However, newer perfusion-weighted MRI techniques, ...

In general, if there is no adjacent organ(s)-at-risk (OARs), one of the dosimetric goals is to generate a homogeneous, isotropic distribution of absorbed radiation dose within the target.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency said it has developed a more accurate method to estimate radiation exposure doses among people who spend time around the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.

nuclear radiation). Exposure of the skin to high doses of ionizing radiation leads to accumulation of lymphocytes in the layers of the skin caused by the effects of cell death and eventually to the ...

Anisotropy Function: A function that accounts for the directional dependence of radiation dose distribution around a brachytherapy source. This Nature Research Intelligence Topic summary is one of ...

By delivering radiation at ultra-high dose rates, with exposures of less ... large volumes of the body because of their diffuse distribution," says Durham Faivre. He explains that this means ...

Further, the contours were applied to voxel dose maps computed from post-treatment quantitative SPECT imaging to estimate renal radiation dose from therapy. Results: Neural network segmentation was ...

The parts of his head hit by the beam were exposed to between 200,000 to 300,000 roentgens of radiation, which is many, many times above a dose that should be lethal. Advert Despite being hit with ...

This alarming finding emerged from the world's first high-resolution global groundwater sulfate distribution map, launched by the university's School of Engineering. While groundwater is a vital ...
