Routine 3D treatment planning: opportunities, challenges, and hazards.
Three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning refers to the use of software and hardware tools to design and implement more accurate and conformal radiation therapy. This is a major advance in oncology that should lead to the reduction of treatment-associated morbidity and facilitate safe dose escalation for many tumor sites. This technology affords the incorporation of physiologic and anatomic inf...

متن کاملLead isotopes as a supplementary tool in the routine evaluation of household lead hazards.
The advent of magnetic sector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) allows rapid, accurate, and precise measurement of lead isotopes in environmental and biological samples at a lower cost than traditional methods. This may increase the feasibility of including lead isotope measurements as a routine tool to identify household sources of lead exposure to children. Here, we presen...
