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. Image-guided surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-guided_surgery

   Most image-guided surgical procedures are minimally invasive. A field of medicine that pioneered and specializes in minimally invasive image-guided surgery is interventional radiology. A hand-held surgical probe is an essential component of any image-guided surgery system as it provides the surgeon with a map of the designated area. [8]

   Vitiligo's drastic effects on the body can cause psychological distress. Jackson used fair-colored makeup, [3] and possibly skin-bleaching prescription creams, [4] to cover up the uneven blotches of color caused by the illness. The creams would have further lightened his skin, and, with the application of makeup, he could appear very pale. [14]

5. Radiation therapy - Wikipedia

   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 ...

   Image analysis involves the manipulation of the patients 3D model to extract relevant information from the data. Using the differing contrast levels of the different tissues within the imagery, as examples, a model can be changed to show just hard structures such as bone, or view the flow of arteries and veins through the brain.

7. Tretinoin - Wikipedia

   Other severe side effects include high white blood cell counts and blood clots. [8] Use during pregnancy is contraindicated due to the risk of birth defects. [8] [1] It is in the retinoid family of medications. [9] Tretinoin was patented in 1957 and approved for medical use in 1962. [13] It is on the World Health Organization's List of ...

8. 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 ]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

   The importance of ecopharmacovigilance is to monitor adverse effects of pharmaceuticals on humans through environmental exposure. [citation needed] Due to this relatively new field of science, researchers are continuously developing and understanding the impacts of pharmaceuticals in the environment and its risk on human and animal exposure ...
