A new model for Spread Out Bragg Peak in proton therapy of uveal melanoma
In this research, in order to improve our calculations in treatment planning for proton radiotherapy of ocular melanoma, we improved our human eye phantom planning system in GEANT4 toolkit. Different analytical models have investigated the creating of Spread Out Bragg Peak (SOBP) in the tumor area. Bortfeld’s model is one of the most important analytical methods. Using convolution method, a new...
متن کاملTissue inhomogeneity in proton therapy and investigation of its effects on BRAGG peak by using MCNPX code
Background: Hadron therapy for malignant tumor is becoming increasingly popular. There are many factors which effect on implementation of a proper treatment planning. The purpose of this work is to investigate the inhomogeneity effects as affecting factor on proton range, Full width at half maximum (FWHM) and 20% position of penumbra (P20) by MCNPX code. Materials and Methods: An inhomogeneous ...
متن کاملProton beam characterization by proton-induced acoustic emission: simulation studies.
Due to their Bragg peak, proton beams are capable of delivering a targeted dose of radiation to a narrow volume, but range uncertainties currently limit their accuracy. One promising beam characterization technique, protoacoustic range verification, measures the acoustic emission generated by the proton beam. We simulated the pressure waves generated by proton radiation passing through water. W...

متن کاملCoulomb nanoradiator-mediated, site-specific thrombolytic proton treatment with a traversing pristine Bragg peak
Traversing proton beam-irradiated, mid/high-Z nanoparticles produce site-specific enhancement of X-ray photon-electron emission via the Coulomb nanoradiator (CNR) effect, resulting in a nano- to micro-scale therapeutic effect at the nanoparticle-uptake target site. Here, we demonstrate the uptake of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) and nanoradiator-mediated, site-specific thrombolysis without da...
