Consideration of accurate dose distribution for Contura balloon catheter in breast brachytherapy with MCNP5 simulation
Introduction: Contura is a balloon applicator that used to deliver intra cavity radiation for Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) treatments. Contura with 4 peripheral lumens surrounding the central, for loading HDR sources from an after loader system can provide an asymmetric dose distribution and gives a more flexible shape of dose than earlier balloon applicators such as Mammo...
متن کاملBalloon Dilation
Background. Atherosclerosis has been associated with loss of artery wall distensibility in human cadavers and in experimental animal models, giving it the lay term "hardening of the arteries." Methods and Results. To assess the effect of calcification on arterial distensibility, balloon pressure and volume were recorded during dilation of calcified aortas in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (W...
متن کاملEndoscopy Guided Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation: Our Experiences
Introduction: Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is a common clinical entity but its treatment is still challenging to Otorhinolaryngologists. This study is done to know the effectiveness of transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation of eustachian tube for treatment of chronic eustachian tube dysfunction. Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective observational study conducted between May 2...
متن کاملIs the Balloon Dilation Duration in Endoscopic Papillary Balloon Dilation (EPBD) Related to the Occurrence of Post-EPBD Pancreatitis?
papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) was proposed as an alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for opening the bile duct orifice to allow stone extraction with functional preservation of the biliary sphincter. Since its introduction in 1982, 1 EPBD has been widely performed because it is associated with lower bleeding and perforation risks compared to EST. 2-6 However, EPBD is more likely ...
متن کاملAchalasia – balloon dilation or surgery?
BACKGROUND The optimal therapeutic schedule in patients with achalasia is still under discussion. The aim of this study was to review our institution's experience with myotomy and dilation in patients with achalasia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical data were available for 59 patients who had ever had myotomy (n=38), dilation (n=21), or both procedures (n=8) between 2000 and 2007. Patients were ...
