Traditional quality assurance checks of a patient's radiation therapy plan involve printing out treatment parameters from the treatment planning system and the "record and verify" (R&V) system and visually checking the information for one-to-one correspondence. In a paperless environment, one can automate this process through independent software that can read the treatment planning data direct...

Continuous approaches for software engineering such as continuous planning, development, and operations are becoming increasingly popular in agile software companies. It means that also user-centered design practitioners and practices need to adapt to both possibilities and challenges the increasingly rapid and more tightly integrated software engineering environment induces. Such issues includ...

Modern mine planning software plays a crucial role in the operation of many of the world’s mining operations and projects. Mine planning software provides the mining industry with a fast, accurate, cost effective and efficient tool in order to manage their business interests worldwide. Every aspect of the mining industry is today using some form of mine planning software. From exploration to re...

BACKGROUND Identifying those patients who have a higher chance to be cured with fewer side effects by particle beam therapy than by state-of-the-art photon therapy is essential to guarantee a fair and sufficient access to specialized radiotherapy. The individualized identification requires initiatives by particle as well as non-particle radiotherapy centers to form networks, to establish proced...

Technical and scientific advances in diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the biomedical field have substantially increased the predictability and longevity of the outcomes of restorative surgical procedures. In contemporary oral implantology, bioprototyping techniques based on computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology have proven to be valuable aids in diagno...

Introduction: Today different uses of multileaf collimators(MLC) in different techniques of radiotherapy are common. Due to the use of this facility it is possible to have maximum radiation dose to target volumes and minimum radiation dose to critical tissues surronding treatment volumes. But there are numerouse Linear accelerators in IRAN without MLC. Because of high price of...

A comparison of isocenter dose calculated by a commercial intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment planning system and independent monitor unit verification calculation (MUVC) software was made. The percent disparity between the treatment plan and MUVC doses were calculated for 507 treatments (head and neck, prostate, abdomen, female pelvis, rectum and anus, and miscellaneous) from 303 p...
