15 صفحه اولTissue 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 Therapy of eye using MCNPX code
Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...
متن کاملComparison of Different Model Predictions on RBE in the Proton Therapy Technique Using the GATE Code
Recently, proton therapy is used as one of the effective methods for treating various types of cancer in clinical treatment. An appropriate formalism to obtain relative biological effectiveness values for treatment planning studies is needed in this hadrontherapy technique. Hereby, the quantity of biological dose, instead of using the physical doses, is introduced to evaluate the biological eff...
متن کاملInter-comparison of MARS and FLUKA: Predictions on Energy Deposition in LHC IR Quadrupoles
Detailed modellings of the LHC insertion regions (IR) have earlier been performed to evaluate energy deposition in the IR superconducting magnets [1-4]. Proton-proton collisions at 14 TeV in the centre of mass lead to debris, depositing energy in the IR components. To evaluate uncertainties in those simulations and gain further confidence in the tools and approaches used, inter-comparison calcu...
