Stereotactactic conformal radiotherapy delivers a differential dose to the target volume (tumour) and organs at risk by shaping the x ray beam at a macroscopic level using lead leaves arranged in the shape of the tumour as seen from the beam's eye view; and by choosing a number of beam angles. The X ray beam zooms straight through the surrounding tissue, into the target volume and out the other side, being absorbed to some extent by all of the tissue along its path.., and kind of like the performer on stage at the royal variety performance under multiple spotlights, the thing of most importance gets the most irradiation (only in this case they have one beam and use it multiple times in sequence).<br /><br />What's tricky is when the target volume is closely surrounded by organs at risk (brain stem, optic nerve etc.) which you really don't want to give a high dose to any portion of, obscuring a direct view of the complete target from most if not all angles.<br /><br />I think what you were suggesting is the notion that occurred to me before I googled and found your blog entry. I think you were suggesting that you could carefully arrange linear accelerators to create inteference patterns that would allow a further degree of intensity modulation to increase or decrease the dose at a given point. I'm no Einstein, but with my knowledge of physics I would suggest that the problems with this would be a) for inteference to work you need a very narrow waveband (e.g. laser) which is not typical of current arrangements, and may be at odds of producing sufficiently high energy beams; b) you need multiple synchronous beams (not impossible, but not the norm) and then the main showstopper would be the disparity between the complexity and scale of the 3d arrangement of target volume and organs at risk versus the scale and flexibility of producing inteference patterns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414213852615390077.post-4301370951101222322010-07-24T20:58:11.957-05:002010-07-24T20:58:11.957-05:00Take a series of language samples.

Independent of the business at hand the language the individual uses to express him/herself reveals underlying personality traits, beliefs, and assumptions. Even a basic structural analysis would reveal frequency of words used (me, I, not, can, will, etc). How to best analyze and apply the findings has yet to be determined.andrea martinhttp://www.spinayarnball.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414213852615390077.post-86185622421364386742010-06-19T13:29:21.146-05:002010-06-19T13:29:21.146-05:00you are invited to follow my blogyou are invited to follow my blogSteve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041851737677873347noreply@blogger.com
