Dosimetric Consistency of Co-60 Teletherapy Unit- a ten years Study.
OBJECTIVE The goal of the Radiation standards and Dosimetry is to ensure that the output of the Teletherapy Unit is within ±2% of the stated one and the output of the treatment dose calculation methods are within ±5%. In the present paper, we studied the dosimetry of Cobalt-60 (Co-60) Teletherapy unit at Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) for last 10 years. Radioactivity is th...
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 کاملTechnical note: Dosimetric study of a new Co-60 source used in brachytherapy.
The purpose of this study is to obtain the dosimetric parameters of a new Co-60 source used in high dose rate brachytherapy and manufactured by BEBIG (Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG GmbH, Germany). The Monte Carlo method has been used to obtain the dose rate distribution in the updated TG-43U1 formalism of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. In addition, to aid the quality control proce...
متن کاملGlioblastoma multiform in under 20 years age group: A ten years study in Kerman (1994-2003)
Introduction: Based on reviewing several large reports in literature, less than 3 percent of glioblastoma occurred in the first two decades of life. In the Asian reports glioblastoma is more common than western reports. As there was no similar report in Iran; this study was designed for evaluating the presence of glioblastoma cases in first two decades of life. Methods: In this cross-sectional...
