The COMPASS system (IBADosimetry) is a quality assurance (QA) tool which reconstructs 3D doses inside a phantom or a patient CT. The dose is predicted according to the RT plan with a correction derived from 2D measurements of a matrix detector. This correction method is necessary since a direct reconstruction …

To validate the model-based 3D dose calculation performed by the COMPASS system, and to evaluate the use of the combination of model-based and measurement-based 3D dose determination for clinical QA purposes.

To quantify the dosimetric accuracy of the COMPASS correction kernel method, and to determine its ability to detect dose delivery errors caused by MLC leaf mis-positioning.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the development of sucking patterns in small-for-gestational age (SGA) preterm infants differs from appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN: We assessed sucking patterns in 15 SGA and 34 AGA preterms (gestational age

Because dental health and oral pathology may affect forensic psychiatric patients' well being, it is important to be able to assess oral health related quality of life (OH-QoL) in these patients. Two studies were conducted among Dutch forensic psychiatric male patients to assess the psychometric properties …
