On behalf of our colleagues, we are pleased to announce a call for papers for a focus collection in IOP Physiological Measurement on the topic of "Open Source and Validated Computational Tools for Physiological Time Series Analysis". Physiological time series analysis plays a crucial role in understanding the complex dynamics of biological systems and their response to stimuli and interventions. The availability of reliable, open-source computational tools is essential for advancing research ...| PhysioNet News

Objective. Proton minibeam radiotherapy (pMBRT) is a novel approach to widen the therapeutic window by balancing tumor control and reducing toxicity to healthy tissues. Among the various ways to generate minibeams, a multislit collimator (MSC) is a convenient approach for integration into existing beamlines. Here, we focus on optimizing the MSC to achieve uniform doses in the planning target volume (PTV), enabling direct comparisons with conventional proton therapy and highlighting pMBRT’s ...| iopscience.iop.org
