Introduction: The most common cancer in women worldwide is breast and radiotherapy the best treatment choice after mastectomy.1,2 In radiation therapy mastectomy, depending on type of tumor, area removed goes under radiotherapy. Methods: TLD (Thermoluminescence Dosimetry) chips were used this project. Typically, each patient an irradiation 200 cGy during 25 sessions received a total 5000 cGy. R...

This report documents how we improved the TLD framework for real-time object tracking [1] by using a new set of features and modifying the learning algorithm.

One of structural passive control methods is to use Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD). However, because of the nature of the TLD, only one tuning frequency can be created when the water is sloshing. To fix this problem, some installed rotatable baffles can be embedded inside TLD called Variably Baffled TLD (VBTLD) where by changing the angle of the baffles a tuning frequency range is created. This gives ...

Increased HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) with antiretroviral therapy (ART) rollout may jeopardize therapeutic options, especially in this era of transition to fixed-dose tenofovir-lamivudine-dolutegravir (TLD). We studied acquired HIVDR (ADR) patterns and describe potentially active drugs after first- second-line failure resource-limited settings (RLS) like Cameroon. A laboratory-based study 759 p...

This paper describes preliminary work to develop a cosmic-radiation dosemeter for use by military aircraft crew. The dosemeter is based on a combination of CR-39 etched-track detectors and TLD-700 thermoluminescent detectors. It is intended that the CR-39 be used to assess the neutron dose, while the TLD700 is used to assess the photon and charged particle dose. The sensitivity of CR-39 to the ...

Introduction: In patients with thyroid carcinoma, radiation absorbed doses of the thyroid and surrounding tissues is important to weigh risk and benefit considerations. In nuclear medicine, the accuracy of absorbed dose of internally distributed radionuclides is estimated by different methods such as MIRD and direct method using TLD. The aim of this study is using TLD and a phantom to determine...

BACKGROUND A novel radioactive 125I seed-loaded biliary stent has been used for patients with malignant biliary obstruction. However, the dosimetric characteristics of the stents remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to describe the dosimetry of the stents of different lengths - with different number as well as activities of 125I seeds. METHODS The radiation dosimetry of three representative ra...
