2. Image-guided radiation therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-guided_radiation_therapy

   The precision of IGRT is significantly improved when technologies that were originally developed for image-guided surgery, such as the N-localizer [6] and Sturm-Pastyr localizer, [7] are used in conjunction with these medical imaging technologies. SRT provides a Non-Surgical Alternative for Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer & an Effective Solution for ...

3. Urea-containing cream - Wikipedia

   Urea, also known as carbamide-containing cream, [clarification needed] is used as a medication and applied to the skin to treat dryness and itching such as may occur in psoriasis, dermatitis, or ichthyosis. [1] [2] [3] It may also be used to soften nails. [3] In adults side effects are generally few. [4] It may occasionally cause skin ...

   Modern radiation therapy aims to reduce side effects to a minimum and to help the patient understand and deal with side effects that are unavoidable. The main side effects reported are fatigue and skin irritation, like a mild to moderate sun burn. The fatigue often sets in during the middle of a course of treatment and can last for weeks after ...

   More research is needed to determine the effects on humans of long-term exposure to low levels of PPCPs. The full effects of mixtures of low concentrations of different PPCPs is also unknown. [31] "The U.S. EPA risk assessment states that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of pharmaceuticals is around 0.0027 mg/kg‐day."

6. Surface-guided radiation therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-guided_radiation...

   Each camera uses a projector and image sensors to create a 3D surface model of a patient, by projecting a red light containing a pseudo-random speckle pattern on their skin. [3] The pattern allows the SGRT system to reference thousands of points on the skin, acting as virtual medical tattoos . [ 4 ]

7. Steroid-induced skin atrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid-induced_skin_atrophy

   Eliminating harsh skin regimens or products will be necessary to minimize potential for further purpura or trauma, skin sensitivity, and potential infection. Steroid-induced skin atrophy [ 14 ] [ 15 ] is often permanent, though if caught soon enough and the topical corticosteroid discontinued in time, the degree of damage may be arrested or ...

8. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

   An image receptor is required to convert the radiation into an image after it has passed through the area of interest. Early on, this was a fluorescing screen, which gave way to an Image Amplifier (IA) which was a large vacuum tube that had the receiving end coated with cesium iodide, and a mirror at the opposite end. Eventually the mirror was ...

9. Side effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_effect

   Beneficial side effects are less common; some examples, in many cases of side-effects that ultimately gained regulatory approval as intended effects, are: Bevacizumab ( Avastin ), used to slow the growth of blood vessels, has been used against dry age-related macular degeneration , as well as macular edema from diseases such as diabetic ...
