Designing Optimal Bias Voltage for Radiotherapy Diamond Dosimeter
Introduction: Recent developments of radiotherapy techniques, require high accuracy detectors to determine the delivered dose in a small area. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or naturally growth diamond detectors which are commercially available are good candidates for this purpose. In these detectors two electrodes with high different electrical potential are deposited on both...
متن کاملExtracranial Doses during Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy Measured with Thermoluminescent Dosimeter in vivo
INTRODUCTION Stereotactic radiotherapy has been majorly applied to the intracranial targets as primary or metastatic brain tumors, benign tumors, vascular malformations as arteriovenous malformations(AVM) or angiographically occult vascular malformations(AoVM), and functional neurologic diseases as neuralgias since 1951, when Dr. Leksell, a Swedish neurosurgeon, used radiation making intentiona...
متن کاملStereotactic radiotherapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) represents a consolidated treatment option for patients with medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical evidence accumulated in the past decade supports its use as an alternative to surgery with comparable survival outcomes. Due to its limited toxicity, SBRT is also applicable to elderly patients with very poor baselin...

متن کاملA Novel Thin NIPAM Gel Cassette Dosimeter for Photon-Beam Radiotherapy
The response of thin polymer gel cassettes (called NIPAM gels) to ionizing radiation was investigated in this study. The NIPAM gels were prepared from gelatin, N-isopropyl acrylamide, tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphoniumchloride, and N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide. Gel cassettes were irradiated in a phantom using a linear accelerator, and the polymerization morphology of irradiated NIPAM gel was...
