Effects of direct therapeutic radiation on pulpal surface of root dentin: an in vitro study
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Mar 18. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01020-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aims of the study were to analyze the effects of therapeutic radiation on human root dentin samples from the aspect of possible alterations in crystallinity, micro-morphology, and composition. Fifty-six root dentin specimens were divided into seven groups (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 Gy). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed on pulpal surfaces of root dentin after being irradiated by 6MV photon energy. Mineral compositions, Ca...

Improving normal tissue sparing using scripting in endometrial cancer radiation therapy planning
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Mar 4. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01019-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to improve the protection of organs at risk (OARs), decrease the total planning time and maintain sufficient target doses using scripting endometrial cancer external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) planning. Computed tomography (CT) data of 14 endometrial cancer patients were included in this study. Manual and automatic planning with scripting were performed for each CT. Scripts were created in the RayStation™ (RaySearch Laboratories AB, Stockholm, Sweden) planning system using a Python code. In scri...

Radiation dose and lifetime risk for radiation-induced cancer due to natural radioactivity in tap water from Jordan
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Mar 2. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01018-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to investigate the radiological quality of drinking water in Ma'an governorate, which includes the archeological city of Petra and is one of Jordan's most important tourist destinations. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study in southern Jordan that investigates radioactivity in drinking water and its potential to cause cancer. A liquid scintillation detector was used to measure gross alpha and gross beta activities in tap water samples from Ma'an governorate. A high-purit...
