— Existing LINACs inefficiently deliver non-coplanar beams
The goal of radiation treatment is to precisely deliver a prescribed radiation dose to the targeted tissue, while avoiding dosing the surrounding normal tissues and organs. These treatments require radiation beams to be delivered from multipl…

Prof. Mohamed Zayed and colleagues have developed an arteriovenous graft cuff with features designed to normalize the blood shear rate and decrease risk of thrombosis at the venous end anastomosis. This device could reduce the failure rate of these grafts, thereby improving …
— Background
Currently, biopsies are the only definitive method to diagnose a brain tumor. While PET-CT is used for initial imaging and monitoring of the tumor, after completion of treatments, a 6-8-week delay is usually implemented to avoid false-positive results. Yet, the delay could also result in…
