Radiation, Volume 1, Issue 3

This study focuses on a CMOS sensing system for Radon and alpha radiation, which is based on a semiconductor device that is integrated monolithically on a single chip with the Readout Circuitry, thus allowing fabrication of a low-power and low-cost s...

Background: Gliomas are primary cerebral tumors. Radiation therapy plays a key role in their treatment but with a risk of toxicity associated with the dose to and volume of normal tissue that is irradiated. With its precision properties allowing for...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is of great concern for the whole world, and finding an effective treatment for the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is, therefore, a global race. In particular, treatmen...

This article provides a review of semiconductor based ionising radiation sensors to measure accumulated dose and detect individual strikes of ionising particles. The measurement of ionising radiation ($\gamma$-ray, X-ray, high energy UV-ray and heavy ions,...

Background: Tooth loss reduces quality of life; however, little is known about tooth loss caused by carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT). Here, we aimed to elucidate the incidence of tooth loss post-CIRT for head and neck tumors and to identify risk-predic...

We evaluated treatment outcomes of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for unresectable locally advanced thyroid cancer (LATC) with or without metastasis. We enrolled 11 LATC patients who underwent EBRT (median age: 76 (45–83) years; six males and...

Both observational and theoretical research in the area of atmospheric high-energy physics since about 1980 has revealed that thunderstorms produce X-rays and gamma-rays into the MeV region by a number of mechanisms. While the nature of these mechani...
