Radiation Therapy Research Proposals Samples For Students

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body in order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

The aim of the research is to provide a solution to the problems that arise due to the high doses of radiation. Radiation is used in the treatment of diseases that involves the usage of high radiation therapies such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound scan and MRI scan. Major radio therapy techniques have led to adverse effects on patients due to the excess dosage of radiation. The research would help to reduce the harmful effects caused by the exposure to radiation by designing radiation protection programs that protect workers, patients and the environment. The newer X ray and CT scan ...

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
- Aims and objectives
The health risk assessment of MRI is incomplete yet and a number of gaps in our knowledge about the ill-effects of MRI have been identified. The effects of exposure to static fields above 8 T are not known. Only a little is known about the increased sensitivity of some people to CNS stimulation by the electric fields in switched gradient fields. There are concerns about the increased heat loads on infants and pregnant women. Hence, well-targeted research is required to complete the health risk assessment (Health Protection Agency, 2008). ...
