It is well established that radiation can damage electronic medical devices; however, there is little guidance for managing spinal cord stimulators (SCS) in the radiation oncology setting. Total body irradiation therapy (TBI) presents especial risk to electro...
Abstract: Since its publication in 2019, AAPM TG-203 has been used as a guide for physicists to assess the risks to cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) from radiation therapy treatments. There have been several new technological advances in radiati...
A clear link has been established between exposure to neutron-producing therapies and cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) malfunction. However, the risk of neutron-induced CIED malfunction under specific clinical conditions has yet to be elucidated....
