Purpose/Objective: Most dose-escalation trials in glioblastoma patients integrate the escalated dose throughout the standard course by targeting a specific subvolume. We hypothesize that anatomical changes during irradiation may affect the dose coverage of this subvolume for both proton- and photon-based …

Introduction: The Netherlands does not have a national guideline for performing radiographic exami nations on pregnant patients. Radiographic examination is a generic term for all examinations performed using ionizing radiation, including but not limited to radiographs, fluoroscopy and computed tomogra …

Abstract: Since the first Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancer’s results were published, people have become more aware of the risks associated with prenatal exposure from diagnostic x rays. As a result, it has since been the subject of many studies. In this review, the results of recent epidemiological …

Voor patiënten die radiologische verrichtingen ondergaan bestaan geen dosislimieten, maar wel zogenaamde Diagnostische ReferentieNiveaus (DRN’s). Dit zijn richtwaarden voor de hoeveelheid straling voor de gemiddelde patiënt bij goede praktijkvoering. In Nederland bestaan nationale DRN’s voor slechts …

Background and purpose: Automatic approaches are widely implemented to automate dose optimization in radiotherapy treatment planning. This study systematically investigates how to configure automatic planning in order to create the best possible plans. Materials and methods: Automatic plans were generated …

Artikel in het blad: NVMBR Tijdens zwangerschap wordt terughoudend omgegaan met de verrichting van röntgenonderzoek m.n. vanwege de gevoeligheid van weefsels van het ongeboren kind voor ioniserende straling. Door regionale verschillen in praktijkvoering en technische en kennisontwikkelingen op radiologisch …

Abstract Background: Good dental hygiene is important to prevent or reduce frailty in the elderly. Research shows that 66% of elderly patients admitted to a nursing home have bad dental hygiene. During their stay, dental hygiene remains moderate to bad. To start addressing this issue, a group of students …

Persuasive design in the context of home rehabilitation of the elder-ly has been applied. Developing various prototypes based on persuasive fea-tures and behavioral changes helps to tune to more personalized solutions and serves as a valuable tool for implementing blended care in the practice.

Artikel in Memorad: Kunstmatige Intelligentie (Artificial Intelligence of kortweg AI) heeft de laatste jaren de radiologiewereld ingrijpend veranderd. Ook het werk van Medische Beeldvormings - en Bestralingsdeskundigen (MBB'ers) verandert hierdoor sterk.

Abstract Background: The benefit of MR-only workflow compared to current CT-based workflow for prostate radiotherapy is reduction of systematic errors in the radiotherapy chain by 2–3 mm. Nowadays, MRI is used for target delineation while CT is needed for position verification. In MR-only workflows, …
