Journal Article
Methylene Blue Dye, an Accurate Dye for Sentinel Lymph Node Identification in Early Breast Cancer
Carole Mathelin,Sabrina Croce,David Brasse,Béatrice Gairard,Mouslim Gharbi,Norosoa Andriamisandratsoa,Virgile Bekaert,Ziad Francis,Jean-Louis Guyonnet,D. Huss,S. Salvador,Roland Schaeffer,Daniel Grucker,Cristi Marin,Jean-Pierre Bellocq +14 more
TL;DR: MBD is safe and combination mapping associated with digital examination is the superior method and modification of the procedure, favouring injections of dilute MBD increases MBD efficiency and maintains low rates of complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accounting for radiation-induced indirect damage on DNA with the Geant 4-DNA code.
TL;DR: This work presents an enhancement of an existing model for radiobiological purposes, to account for the indirect DNA damage induced by ionizing particles, focused on the indirect damage produced by the hydroxyl radical (OH) attack on the sugar-phosphate group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the EBT3 Gafchromic film irradiated with 6 MV photons and 6 MeV electrons using reflective mode scanners.
TL;DR: The reflective scanning method can be used on EBT3 as an economic alternative to the transmission method and provides a reliable relative dose measurement method for electrons and photons irradiations in the medical field applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
PIXE simulation in Geant4
A. Mantero,H. Ben Abdelouahed,Christophe Champion,Z. El Bitar,Ziad Francis,Paul Gueye,Sebastien Incerti,Vladimir Ivanchenko,Vladimir Ivanchenko,M. Maire +9 more
TL;DR: New results on the verification of these models and an overview of the new interface to PIXE modelling are presented, allowing a unified usage of the Geant4 de-excitation module by both ‘standard’ and ‘low-energy’ subpackages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combination of electromagnetic physics processes for microdosimetry in liquid water with the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit
Vladimir Ivanchenko,Sebastien Incerti,Ziad Francis,H.N. Tran,M. Karamitros,Mario A. Bernal,Christophe Champion,Christophe Champion,Paul Gueye +8 more
TL;DR: The Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit provides a set of electromagnetic physics processes adapted to the detailed simulation of particle interactions in liquid water for microdosimetry applications, such as single-cell irradiation with light ion beams as mentioned in this paper.
