Background Recently, a flexible DROP-IN gamma-probe was introduced for robot-assisted
radioguided surgery, using traditional low-energy SPECT-isotopes. In parallel, a novel …

In particle therapy, the uncertainty of the delivered particle range during the patient irradiation
limits the optimization of the treatment planning. Therefore, an in vivo treatment verification …

Charged particle beams are used in particle therapy (PT) to treat oncological patients due to
their selective dose deposition in tissues with respect to the photons and electrons used in …

Amino and sulfonate ending groups thiols are used as functionalizing agents to stabilize of
gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), obtaining hydrophilic AuNPs with a 10–20 nm diameter range …

Radio Guided Surgery is a technique helping the surgeon in the resection of tumors: a
radiolabeled tracer is administered to the patient before surgery and then the surgeon evaluates …

Background Spread through air spaces (STAS) has been reported as a negative prognostic
factor in patients with lung cancer undergoing sublobar resection. Radiomics has been …

Nowadays there is a growing interest in particle therapy treatments exploiting light ion
beams against tumors due to their enhanced relative biological effectiveness and high space …

Charged particle therapy is a technique for cancer treatment that exploits hadron beams,
mostly protons and carbon ions. A critical issue is the monitoring of the beam range so to check …

Particle therapy in which deep seated tumours are treated using 12 C ions (Carbon Ions
RadioTherapy or CIRT) exploits the high conformity in the dose release, the high relative …

Purpose Beta-particle radioguided tumor resection may potentially overcome the limitations
of conventional gamma-ray guided surgery by eliminating, or at least minimizing, the …
