Purpose. The purpose of the current study was search for evaluation criterion radiosensitivity bone metastases various origins. Materials and methods. first part presents a modern classification pain, method its evaluation, mechanisms features metastatic pain. radiobiological patterns pain relief in low-dose anti-inflammatory radiation therapy were also considered. analysis these testifies favo...

Radiobiological researches with heavy ions have been started at ITEP in 2006 on unique heavy ion accelerating facility ITEP-TWAC. The main purpose of these researches is study of the biological efficiency of carbon ions for different types of biological objects, such as tumor and normal cells, in the framework of the development of heavy ion therapy for cancer treatment in Russia. Another possi...

The objective of microdosimetry was, and still is, to identify physical descriptions of the initial physical processes of ionising radiation interacting with biological matter which correlate with observed radiobiological effects with a view to improve the understanding of radiobiological mechanisms and effects. The introduction of therapy with particles starting with fast neutrons followed by ...

diation and radiobiological researches and radiation protection. The first two lines are included in the Topical Plan for Scientific Research of JINR and were concentrated on: • neutron spectrometry and radiometry, radiation monitoring; • investigation of radiation fields around thick targets; • physical support of radiobiological experiments; • shielding calculations and design; • investigatio...

PURPOSE One of the issues that a planner is often facing in HDR brachytherapy is the selective existence of high dose volumes around some few dominating dwell positions. If there is no information available about its necessity (e.g. location of a GTV), then it is reasonable to investigate whether this can be avoided. This effect can be eliminated by limiting the free modulation of the dwell tim...
