Microdosimetry: characterizing the radiation properties

Microdosimetry is an essential technique for understanding and improving the effectiveness of radiation therapy and radiopharmaceutical treatments for cancer. Microdosimetry helps predict DNA damage, cell killing, and other biological effects by analyzing how radiation energy is distributed on a microscopic scale. This information is vital in optimizing advanced therapies like proton and alpha-targeted therapy. Moreover,

MIDOS: MIcrosphere DOSimetry for transarterial radioembolization

We recently developed a groundbreaking tool named MIDOS, aimed at revolutionizing liver cancer treatment through Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE). TARE is an innovative procedure where radioactive microspheres are injected into the liver’s arterial supply to target and destroy liver tumors while sparing healthy tissue. However, optimizing this treatment for each individual patient has remained a challenge
