Skin Dosimetry of Some Beta Sources using the VARSKIN2 Code
Introduction: Skin dose and depth dose distribution of some beta sources that can contaminate skin or protective clothing covering the skin have been calculated using VARSKIN2. Materials and Methods: In this research, absorbed dose to skin and depth dose from the skin surface have been calculated for 90Sr/90Y, 147Pm, 32P beta emitter radioisotopes by using input parameters: activity of source, ...
متن کاملDose estimation with the calibration of dose-response curve of micronucleus in human peripheral lymphocytes induced by 50MeV proton beams
Background: The purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and reliable biodosimeter protocol to evaluate the biological effects of proton beams. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated using proton beams (LET: 34.6 keV μm−1), and the chromosome aberrations induced were analyzed using cytokinesis-blocked (CB) micronucleus (MN) assay. To determine th...
متن کاملCalibration and characterization of beta-particle sources for intravascular brachytherapy.
The calibration of a catheter-based system to be used for therapeutic radiation treatment to prevent restenosis following interventional coronary procedures is described. The primary dosimetry was performed ionometrically using an extrapolation chamber equipped with a 1-mm diameter collecting electrode to measure absorbed dose in tissue equivalent plastic at a depth of 2 mm. These results are c...
متن کاملEstimation and Calibration of Robot Link Parameters with Intelligent Techniques
Abstract: Using robot manipulators for high accuracy applications require precise value of the kinematics parameters. Since measurement of kinematics parameters are usually associated with errors and accurate measurement of them is an expensive task, automatic calibration of robot link parameters makes the task of kinematics parameters determination much easier. In this paper a simple and easy ...
متن کاملBeta and electron dose calculations to skin due to contamination by common nuclear medicine radionuclides.
We present dose calculations to the basal cell layer of the epidermis resulting from skin contamination by radionuclides used in nuclear medicine. Dose calculations were made using the computer code VARSKIN, as modified by us to include these radionuclides and to account for their monoenergetic electron emissions. Results indicate that basal skin doses (taken to be at a depth of 0.007 cm) are a...
