Estimation of cancer risks due to chest radiotherapy treatment planning computed tomography (CT) simulations
The objective of our study was to determine organ doses to estimate the lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer incidence related to chest tomography simulations for Radiotherapy Treatment Planning (RTTP) using patient-specific information. Patient data were used to calculate organ doses and effective dose. The effective dose (E) was calculated by two methods. First, to calculate effective dose in a standard phantom, the collected dosimetric parameters were used with the ImPACT CT Patient Dosimetry Calculator and E was calculated by applying related correction factors. Second, using the scanner-derived Dose Length Produ...

Vancouver call for action to strengthen expertise in radiological protection worldwide
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01024-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIonising radiation has been used for over a century for peaceful purposes, revolutionising health care and promoting well-being through its application in industry, science, and medicine. For almost as long, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has promoted understanding of health and environmental risks of ionising radiation and developed a protection system that enables the safe use of ionising radiation in justified and beneficial practices, providing protection from all sources of radiation. How...

The relationship of the efficiency of energy conversion into growth as an indicator for the determination of the optimal dose for mutation breeding with the appearance of chromosomal abnormalities and incomplete mitosis after gamma irradiation of kernels of Triticum turgidum ssp. durum L
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Apr 19. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01026-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study aim was to determine the optimal gamma irradiation dose for mutation breeding in Triticum turgidum ssp. durum L. Root, shoot and seedling growth, as well as the efficiency of energy conversion into growth were determined to examine the growth retardation effects of gamma irradiation that are the result of DNA damage (bridges, ring chromosomes, micronuclei, incomplete mitosis) in Triticum turgidum ssp. durum L. The kernels were irradiated with doses of 50, 150, 250 and 350 Gy using a 60Cobalt gamma-ray source. The k...
