Dosimetric Evaluation of Breathing-Adapted Radiotherapy
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females worldwide as a major health concern [1-3]. Radiation therapy plays a central role in the management of breast cancer with its benefit in terms of local control and survival [4-8]. Radiation therapy for breast cancer typically targets the breast or the chestwall and lymph nodes when indicated. Since these targets are located in vicinity of criti...
متن کاملVerification of MRI MAGAT polymer gel dosimetry in clinical radiotherapy applications
Introduction: The objective of this work is to study the ability of MRI normoxic polymer gel dosimetry system to be used to verify the calculated dose distribution, in a simple geometry, in clinical radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Initially, 2 liters of the normoxic MAGAT polymer gel was prepared and then poured into two cylindrical Perspex phantom (simu...

متن کاملInvestigation of dosimetric characteristic of NIPAM polymer gel using x-ray CT
Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...
متن کاملVerification of the PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter by photon beams using magnetic resonance imaging
Background: In this work investigation of the normoxic PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter such as sensitivity, the R2-dose response with post time and the percentage depth dose (PDD) of PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter have been undertaken. Materials and Methods: Using MRI, the formulation to give the maximum change in the transverse relaxation rate R2 was determined to be 4.5% N,N'-methylenbis- ...
