Introduction: Low-density bulk metallic glass (BMG) with good structural characteristics has the potential of being used for structural radiation shielding purposes. This study was conducted on two new low-density titanium ...

Introduction: This paper aimed to outline the procedure for determining the activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides (i.e., 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) in surface soil samples collected from Mazandaran ...

Introduction: The left atrial appendage )LAA( occlusion using a purpose-built device is a growing procedure. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided diagnostic system for the recognition of the LAA in echocardiographic ...

Introduction: Today, the use of ionizing radiation in medicine has grown as an important tool for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, the harmful effects of radiation should be also considered. Some substances ...

Introduction: The most common impact of X-ray is the induction of cancer after chronic exposure. The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of low X-ray doses on some liver functions and proteins among ...

Introduction: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes oxidative damage and cancer in the epidermis. The thickening of the skin layer seems to be correlated with carcinogenicity. The present study aimed to induce ...

Introduction: Tumor motion is a challenging issue in radiotherapy, which complicates the process of tumor delineation, localization, and dose delivery. External surrogate radiotherapy is one of the available strategies ...

Introduction: Accurate and early diagnosis of cancer is an important issue in modern healthcare systems. Raman spectroscopy, as a non-invasive optical technique for evaluating intact tissues at a molecular level, has ...

Introduction: Neutron dosimetry is a challenging subject in radiation protection. Responses of neutron dosimeters mostly depend on the neutron energy spectrum. Dosimeter response corresponding to a dose-equivalent in the ...
