Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic‐based low cost tissue equivalent phantom for verification dosimetry in IMRT
A novel IMRT phantom was designed and fabricated using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. Physical properties of ABS plastic related to radiation interaction and dosimetry were compared with commonly available phantom materials for dose measurements in radiotherapy. The ABS IMRT phantom has provisions to hold various types of detectors such as ion chambers, radiographic/radiochromic...
متن کاملMimicking Hardwoods Using Honeycombs Manufactured from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): A Comparison of Mechanical Properties
Wood has been used as a material to build mechanical structures for thousands of years. As a natural composite of cellulose fibers embedded in a matrix of lignin, this organic, cellular solid resists both tension and compression. Its properties depend on the direction of loading of its cells − whether radially, tangentially, or axially − and such anisotropy is modeled well as a regular honeycom...
متن کاملA tissue‐equivalent phantom series for mammography dosimetry
A breast tissue-equivalent series (BRTES) of phantoms is manufactured to mimic both the attenuation and the density of the range of glandular and adipose tissue compositions encountered in mammography. The BRTES simulates breast tissues across the range of 20% to 70% glandularity and can be assembled in a variety of thicknesses to represent a compressed breast thickness corresponding to glandul...
متن کاملThree-dimensional gel dosimetry for dose volume histogram verification in compensator-based IMRT
Background: Some tissues in human body are radiobiologically different from water and these inhomogeneity must be considered in dose calculation in order to achieve an accurate dose delivery. Dose verification in complex radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) calls for volumetric, tissue equivalent and energy independent dosimeter. The purpose of this...
متن کاملDegradation of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and polycarbonate by UV irradiation
The eects of ultra-violet irradiation on the microstructure of an oxygen free polymer viz., acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and a polymer containing oxygen viz., polycarbonate have been investigated using positron annihilation lifetime measurement. Lifetime results in both polymers in the early stages of irradiation indicate that chain-scission leading to free radical formation is the predomin...
