The impact of lesion vascularisation on tumours detection by electrical impedance scanning at 200 Hz

Objective: Cancer cells exhibit altered local dielectric properties compared to normal cells. These properties are measurable as a difference in electrical conductance using electrical impedance scanning (EIS). EIS is at...

Intensity modulated radiotherapy: advantages, limitations and future developments

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is widely used in clinical applications in developed countries, for the treatment of malignant and non-malignant diseases. This technique uses multiple radiation beams of non-unifo...
