OPTIMAL ORGAN-SPARING INTENSITY-MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT) REGIMEN FOR THE TREATMENT OF LOCALLY ADVANCED ANAL CANAL CARCINOMA: A COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL AND IMRT PLANS

Optimal organ-sparing intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) regimen for the treatment of locally advanced anal canal carcinoma: a comparison of conventional and IMRT plans

Abstract Background To compare the dosimetric advantage of three different intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans to a three dimensional (3D) conventional radiation treatment for anal cancer with regards to organs-at-risk (OAR) avoidance, including iliac bone marrow.Methods Five patients with T1-3 N0-1 anal cancer and five with T4 and/o

A New Approach of Minimizing Commutation Torque Ripple for BLDCM

The properties of brushless DC motor (BLDCM) are similar to the fractional, slot-concentrated winding of permanent-magnet synchronous machines, and they fit well for electric vehicle application.However, BLDCM still suffers from the high commutation torque ripple in the case of the traditional square-wave current control (SWC) method, where the Bal
