Direct-Time Resolved Measurement of DNA Strand Scission Reactions from 225ac

We present advancements of single-molecule biodosimetry to measure radiation-induced DNA damage from α-emitting 225Ac. These results will be compared to β-emitting radionuclides to assess relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for radionuclide therapies.

Impact of Small Metallic Artifact Contouring on Local Dose Perturbations

Small metallic objects such as titanium and tantalum surgical clips are frequently present in clinical treatment planning images. Because these objects produce streak artifacts in planning CT images and may lie within the beam path, there is concern that they...

Direct Measurement of Absorbed Dose from a Pre-Clinical Am-241 Alpha Particle Irradiator

Accurate absorbed dose determination for alpha emitting sources remains challenging due to short particle ranges and sensitivity to source geometry. This work presents a practical framework for direct absorbed dose to water measurements from a plated 241Am so...
