A Monte Carlo Dosimetry-Based Cell Survival Model Incorporating Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity for Rpt Preclinical Studies

Authors: Alejandro Bertolet, Michael D. Farwell, Sarah Gitto, Victor V. Onecha, Daniel Pryma, Aladdin Riad

Affiliation: Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Abramson Cancer Center, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Radiology, Perelman School of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Responses to ionizing radiation (IR) strongly correlate with the absorbed dose. At the cellular level, this is typically described by a linear-quadratic relationship provided the cell populat...

Addressing Radionuclide Decay Complexities in Targeted Alpha Therapy: A Computational Approach.

Authors: Denis Bergeron, Ryan P Fitzgerald, Ravneet Kaur, Rao Khan

Affiliation: John Hopkins University, NIST Radiation Physics Division, Howard University, National Institute of Standards and Technology
