Characterization of a flexible a-Si:H detector for in vivo dosimetry in therapeutic x-ray beams
Sylvain Dunand, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Matthew James Large
BackgroundThe increasing use of complex and high dose-rate treatments in radiation therapy necessitates advanced detectors to provide accurate dosimetry. Rather than relying on pre-treatment quality assurance (QA) measurements alone, many countries are now ...
Hoboken2024Long-Term Hearing Outcome After Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is one of the main treatment options in the management of small to medium size vestibular schwannomas (VSs), because of high tumor control rate and low cranial nerves morbidity. Series reporting long-term hearing ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2023Hydrogenated amorphous silicon high flux x-ray detectors for synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy
Sylvain Dunand, Matthew James Large, Giulia Rossi
Objective. Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an alternative emerging radiotherapy treatment modality which has demonstrated effective radioresistant tumour control while sparing surrounding healthy tissue in preclinical trials. This apparent selectivity ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Single-fraction radiosurgery outcomes for large vestibular schwannomas in the upfront or post-surgical setting: a systematic review and International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) Practice Guidelines
PurposeTo perform a systematic review of literature specific to single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for large vestibular schwannomas (VS), maximum diameter >= 2.5 cm and/or classified as Koos Grade IV, and to present consensus recommendations o ...
New York2023Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Benign Cavernous Sinus Meningiomas: A Multicentre Study and Review of the Literature
Simple Summary Meningiomas are the most common tumours of the central nervous system (CNS). Despite their benign histology, proximity to critical neurovascular structures may lead to significant morbidity with tumour growth. This is the case for cavernous ...
MDPI2022Gamma Knife radiosurgery as salvage therapy for gangliogliomas after initial microsurgical resection
Introduction: Gangliogliomas (GG) are considered WHO grade I rare tumors. While they commonly manifest as temporal lobe epilepsy, they can be located anywhere in the brain. Primary treatment is complete microsurgical resection. Remnant or recurrent GG can ...
2021Satellite-Based Personal UV Dose Estimation
Athanasios Nenes, David Vernez
Epidemiology and public health research relating to solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure usually relies on dosimetry to measure UV doses received by individuals. However, measurement errors affect each dosimetry measurement by unknown amounts, complicating the ...
2021Establishment of a Therapeutic Ratio for Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Trigeminal Neuralgia: The Critical Importance of Biologically Effective Dose Versus Physical Dose
OBJECTIVE: How variations of treatment time affect the safety and efficacy of Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery is a matter of considerable debate. With the relative simplicity of treatment planning for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), this question has been address ...
2020Multidisciplinary Approach to Treat Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a widespread disease affecting approximately 20% of men. With a rising incidence due to the global
ageing of the world population, it is estimated that over 322 million patients will be affected in 2025. While not being a lifet ...
EPFL2020Gamma Knife radiosurgery for intravestibular and intracochlear schwannomas
BackgroundSchwannomas of the VIIIth cranial nerve are benign tumours, with vast majority occurring in vestibular division. Rarely, they can also arise from distal branches of cochlear, superior or inferior vestibular. We review our experience with Gamma Kn ...
