Dose conversion: A deep learning model predicts the Monte Carlo (MC) dose distribution from the pencil beam (PB) dose, for a prostate cancer case. (a) PB dose distribution; (b) converted dose ...

Body surface area-dosing does not account for the complex processes of cytotoxic drug elimination. This leads to an unpredictable variation in effect. Overdosing is easily recognised but it is ...

Radiotherapy dose calculation algorithms are essential components of modern treatment planning, ensuring that the prescribed radiation dose conforms as closely as possible to a patient’s tumour while ...

An ordered process describing calculations activities for compounded dosage forms is described. Mathematic calculations are a critical activity in pharmaceutical compounding. All compounded ...

A dosage formula has been derived from a retrospective analysis of carboplatin pharmacokinetics in 18 patients with pretreatment glomerular filtration rates (GFR) in the range of 33 to 136 mL/min.

My research program aims at improving radiation therapy cancer treatments following four major themes: 1) dose optimization, including biological information via image fusion, 2) image processing, 3) ...

Methods of calculating the correct dosage of the antibiotic Vancomycin for treating multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are inaccurate for children over 10, leading to inappropriate dosage ...
