background:  radiochromic film is used for radiation dose measurement, xr-rv3 is used in fluoroscopy and ebt2 film in radiation therapy. the aim was to determine if the dosimetric properties of these two films are comparable in megavolt photon beams. materials and methods: comparison measurements included: calibration curves, heterogeneous phantom dose profiles, and nasopharynx dose distributio...

Introduction: In radiotherapy treatment planning system (TPS), basic input is the data from computed tomography (CT) scan, which takes into account the effect of inhomogeneities in dose calculations. Measurement of CT numbers may be affected by scanner-specific parameters. Therefore, it is important to verify the effect of different CT scanning protocols on Hounsfield unit (HU) and its impact o...

This research reports a validated multi-residue method based on gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry technique for analysis of 24 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in traditional and semi-industrial Taftoon bread using QuEChERS sample preparation. Matrix effect studies were performed by comparing the slopes of solvent based standard calibration curves and spiked calibration curves...

BACKGROUND Despite the increasing use of real-time PCR in the diagnosis and management of viral infections, there are no published studies adequately addressing the optimum number of calibrators, the number of replicates of each calibrator, and the frequency with which calibration needs to be repeated. This study was designed to address these issues. METHODS Cycle threshold data (ABI 7700) wa...

recently, with increasing public awareness of food safety, developments of some valid and rapidly analytical methods are required for the determination of residual pesticides in crops.this study was conducted on validation of a reliable, accurate and precise method for multi analysis of pesticides residue in melon as a main fruit in iranian food basket. a reliable, and valid method based on spi...
