Air kerma strength characterization of a GZP6 Cobalt-60 brachytherapy source.
BACKGROUND Task group number 40 (TG-40) of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) has recommended calibration of any brachytherapy source before its clinical use. GZP6 afterloading brachytherapy unit is a (60)Co high dose rate (HDR) system recently being used in some of the Iranian radiotherapy centers. AIM In this study air kerma strength (AKS) of (60)Co source number thre...
متن کاملThe Source of Cobalt-60 and Migrations of Albacore off the West Coast of North America
Cobalt is an integral part of the vitamin Bl2 complex and an important cofactor in enzyme systems (Lowman et al. 1971; Reichle et al. 1970). It is, therefore, an element whose cycle in oceanic ecosystems is of interest. The artificial radionuclide cobalt-60 (60CO) has been observed in the livers of albacore, (Thunnus alalunga Bonnaterre) collected off the west coast of North America, Washington...

متن کاملDosimetric Conformity of Cobalt-60 (Co) Beams
Objective: The radiation dosimetry is the output measurement of radiation generating source/ machine and its ambition is to ensure that the teletherapy units’ outputs are within limits. In the current article, the dosimetry of Cobalt-60 (Co 60 ) teletherapy units at Nuclear Institute of Medicine and Radiotherapy (NIMRA), Jamshoro Pakistan was studied. As Co 60 is undergo decay process, the outp...
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 ...
