Lateral Electronic Disequilibrium in FFT Convolution Dose Calculationsz
In high energy photon dose calculations, electron transport is an important process especially in low density regions such as lung. Electron transport is captured in time consuming algorithms such as Monte Carlo, scaling of the primary kernels, etc., but not in the eecient FFT convolution dose calculation. We do not want to scale the kernels in order to take advantage of the FFT-we continue to ...
متن کاملDose modification factors for 192Ir high‐dose‐rate irradiation using Monte Carlo simulations
A recently introduced brachytherapy system for partial breast irradiation, MammoSite, consists of a balloon applicator filled with contrast solution and a catheter for insertion of an 192Ir high-dose-rate (HDR) source. In using this system, the treatment dose is typically prescribed to be delivered 1 cm from the balloon's surface. Most treatment-planning systems currently in use for brachythera...
متن کاملFactors determining spectral width of HF echoes from high latitudes
Spectral width is one of the standard data types produced by the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). A pronounced latitudinal gradient in spectral width has been reported in the literature and is used as an empirical proxy for the ionospheric footprint of the open-closed field-line boundary. In this work we investigated the daytime radar echo properties near the spectral width boundar...
متن کاملNeuronal factors determining high intelligence.
Many attempts have been made to correlate degrees of both animal and human intelligence with brain properties. With respect to mammals, a much-discussed trait concerns absolute and relative brain size, either uncorrected or corrected for body size. However, the correlation of both with degrees of intelligence yields large inconsistencies, because although they are regarded as the most intellige...
متن کاملEffect of gold nanoparticles on dose enhancement of 6 Mv X-rayin MAGIC_f polymer gel dosimeter
Introduction: Currently, the potential application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to increase the efficiency of radiation therapy have been investigated. However, the loss of an appropriate method to estimate the dose distribution in nanoparticle laden tissue limits the applicability of nanoparticles in radiotherapy clinics. Polymer gel dosimetry provides an accurate and precise...
