RadioModels Description
RadioModels Quantitative Mathematical Models in Radiation Oncology is a simple to use tool that allows you to observe and assess the effects of radiation therapy in cancer patients. The software is an educational instrument dedicated to calculating dosimetry and complications risks, given certain parameters.
Study models and individual cases
The software offers several study methods for radiogenic cancer treatment risks and dose fractionation. It also features several mathematical formulas that enable you to estimate the effects of relative and absolute risks in a high number of patients. You may thus easily observe the ERR (Excess Relative Risk), EAR (Excess Absolute Risk) and LAR (Lifetime Attributable Risk).
You may easily analyze the effects of treatment in several cases of breast cancer, such as Breast Fibrosis Risk after Radiotherapy or Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence. Other radiobiology models include Linear-Quadratic-Linear (LQL) Cell Survival, with correction for damage repair and repopulation effects, plus Normal Tissue Complication Probability.
The software also offers models of the effects of ionizing radiation (BEIR) VII in radiogenic cancer risk for you to study. You may set the parameters before observing the results, indicating the average population age, general exposure, gender, latency or cancer site. The software allows you to observe the effects of cancer in the thyroid, stomach, liver, lungs, leukemia and several other sites. The results concern the number of affected patients, radiation injury risk, as well as recovery confidence.
Studies and statistics
Based on the parameters you provide, the software can instantly generate graphs for the leukemia cancer in the United States. You may view the mortality rate, as well as incidence, depending on gender and age interval.
Moreover, the software allows you to observe individual effects for specific patients and obtain, based on a daily/weekly treatment schedule and customized radiation dosage. The software can estimate the suitable radiation dosages and their biological effects for the heart, as well as the tissue complication probability. A graph can indicate the evolution of the treatment and the dose fractionation in time.
Educational tool for oncology students
RadioModels Quantitative Mathematical Models in Radiation Oncology works as a dosimetry and dose calculation simulator. Moreover, it offers several mathematical models designed to help you observe the biological effects of radiation therapy: the BEIR VII, Linear-Quadratic-Linear Cell Survival and Normal Tissue Complication Probability in response to therapeutic irradiation models.
