The Importance of absorbed dose in medical applications
Radiation damage depends on energy absorption, and is approximately proportional to the absorbed energy density in the tissue. In external radiation consideration with a certain energy flux, the amount of absorbed dose in each point of the tissue depends on the type of radiation, the radiation energy, the depth of the place of receipt, and the main components of the absorber environment. The ab...
متن کاملAccelerators for Medical Applications
About 50% of the ten thousands particle accelerators at present running in the world are devoted to medical applications. The main areas of use are: (i) radioisotope production, (ii) conventional radiotherapy with electron and photon beams, (iii) oncological hadrontherapy. In this review paper it is shown that in all these areas there are new developments which are scientifically interesting an...
متن کاملBeam Diagnostics for Medical Accelerators*
The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European Training Network that has received 4 ME of funding within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union. OMA joins universities, research centers and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in treatment facility design and optimization, numerical simulations for the development of advance...
متن کاملAssessment of skyshine photon dose rates from 9 and 18 MV medical linear accelerators
Background: Skyshine describes the radiation scattered by the atmosphere above a LINAC facility to a point on the ground. The aim of this study was to measure the skyshine photon dose rates from two different (9 MV and 18 MV) medical linear accelerators. Materials and Methods: The photon beam was directed upward (180° gantry position), with a maximum photon field size (40 × 40 cm2) at the isoce...
متن کاملNew formula for Calculation of Cobalt-60 Percent Depth Dose
Introduction: On the basis of percent depth dose (PDD) calculation, the application of dosimetry in radiotherapy has an important role to play in reducing the chance of tumor recurrence. The aim of this study is to introduce a new formula for calculating the centeral axis percent depth doses of Cobalt-60 beam. Materials and Methods: In the present study, based on ...
