Multicurie Cobalt 60 Units for Radiation Therapy.

Dosimetric 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...

New 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 ...

Cobalt-60: An Old Modality, A Renewed Challenge

Cobalt 60 radiation and growth of Candida species.

Eight pathogenic Candida species were exposed to 6oCo radiation and examined for variation in growth and development. All isolates demonstrated accelerated pseudohyphal growth and blastospore production at 10,000 rads compared with controls receiving no gamma radiation. Growth gradually decreased with increased 6oCo exposure, and minimal recovery occurred with four species at 2.4 million rads.
