Emphasis was placed on dosimetry for therapeutic applications of radiation in medicine. However, some papers deal with dosimetry in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. Although many dosimetry techniques are discussed, calorimetry is featured in one session exclusively. Many papers deal with dosimetry standards, protocols and comparisons. The need for accurate dosimetry for the treatment of cancer was a common thread throughout the symposium.
Book Synopsis Vascular Brachytherapy by : Ron Waksman
Download or read book Vascular Brachytherapy written by Ron Waksman and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-02-04 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the first coronary balloon angioplasty in 1977 came the challenge of the wound healing process of retenosis. Together these events spawned a new field of medicine, vascular brachytherapy, conceived to resolve this leading complication of vascular intervention. In the ensuing 20 year quest to cure restenosis, radiation vascular therapy appears to be the next logical step, but it still needs validation. Just two years after the first edition, this second edition of Vascular Brachytherapy fulfils the promise to provide updated information about the meteoric progress made from recent collaborative investigations within this field. Migrating from ideas and pre-clinical observation to clinical practice, this second edition contains 48 new or revised chapters contributed by well known medical experts from widely disparate fields of medicine. Scientists, cardiologists, radiation safety officers, regulators, engineers and technicians substantiate their observations with clinical and non-clinical data, basic radiation principles and issues from an economic, regulatory and safety perspective. Very little is known about the immediate patient risks, environmental concerns and long term pathobiological responses. For a field which is still in its honeymoon phase due to early technology success, this single volume will serve as a long-range educational tool and trace, giving the field of vascular brachytherapy the intense and continuous evaluation it deserves. For an audience of clinicians, scientists and researchers from all the represented medical disciplines, this book provides in depth information and exposure to subjects within these diverse areas of expertise.

Book Synopsis Radiation in Medicine by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Radiation in Medicine written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-03-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does radiation medicine need more regulation or simply better-coordinated regulation? This book addresses this and other questions of critical importance to public health and safety. The issues involved are high on the nation's agenda: the impact of radiation on public safety, the balance between federal and state authority, and the cost-benefit ratio of regulation. Although incidents of misadministration are rare, a case in Pennsylvania resulting in the death of a patient and the inadvertent exposure of others to a high dose of radiation drew attention to issues concerning the regulation of ionizing radiation in medicine and the need to examine current regulatory practices. Written at the request from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Radiation in Medicine reviews the regulation of ionizing radiation in medicine, focusing on the NRC's Medical Use Program, which governs the use of reactor-generated byproduct materials. The committee recommends immediate action on enforcement and provides longer term proposals for reform of the regulatory system. The volume covers: Sources of radiation and their use in medicine. Levels of risk to patients, workers, and the public. Current roles of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, other federal agencies, and states. Criticisms from the regulated community. The committee explores alternative regulatory structures for radiation medicine and explains the rationale for the option it recommends in this volume. Based on extensive research, input from the regulated community, and the collaborative efforts of experts from a range of disciplines, Radiation in Medicine will be an important resource for federal and state policymakers and regulators, health professionals involved in radiation treatment, developers and producers of radiation equipment, insurance providers, and concerned laypersons.
