Description
This thesis is a comparative study looking at different radiation therapy treatment techniques for treating early stage lung cancer. It investigated three different techniques that had differing number of beams and treatment angles. Furthermore, it also look at beams that rotated, against beams that were stationary. It was discovered that multiple beams that continuously rotate around the patient provided optimal dose to the tumour, minimum dose to surrounding healthy tissues and had the quickest delivery time.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
