Radiation Therapy with Orthovoltage X-rays and a Special Collimator
Method of therapeutic radiation delivery for a specific target using a multi-aperture collimator within a trajectory of orthovoltage x-rays Background: Current radiation therapy is carried out using mostly high energy x-rays. The current MeV x-rays being used have good qualities such as high tissue penetration and a skin-sparing effect. Despite this,...

Cell Regeneration Using X-Ray Micro Beam Irradiation and Administering Schwann-Cell Precursor Cells
Treatment of damaged nerves using x-ray radiation therapy with an in-beam dose sufficient to initiate demyelination Background: Mammalian peripheral nerves can be injured by a variety of ways including mechanical, radiation, and damage caused by the immune system. Peripheral nerves are located throughout both the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral...

System and Method for Dual-Use Computed Tomography for Imaging and Radiation Therapy
Use of microbeams to graph an area for therapy and tracking of radiation beams Background: In radiation therapy, the location of an area needed to be treated is crucial. Accuracy prevents damage to healthy tissue. The accuracy of launching radiation is based off of the accuracy of the tomography of the body. However, previous tomographic arrays limit...
