Dose calculations with TRAX
The traditional microdosimetric approach uses observables such as the distribution of lineal energy deposition, y, and the specific energy deposition, z, to describe radiation quality with respect to damage in biological systems. A problem is, however, that there is no obvious link from purely physical observables to resulting biological effect. In recent developments, however, microdosimetric ...
متن کاملDevelopment of CT Scanner Models for Patient Organ Dose Calculations Using Monte Carlo Methods
There is a serious and growing concern about the CT dose delivered by diagnostic CT examinations or image-guided radiation therapy imaging procedures. To better understand and to accurately quantify radiation dose due to CT imaging, Monte Carlo based CT scanner models are needed. This dissertation describes the development, validation, and application of detailed CT scanner models including a G...
متن کاملOrgan dose in kidney imaging with contrast media
Introduction:Intravenous urography (IVU) test includes high number of images and extended imaging size. These make IVU as a diagnostic method with high absorbed doses by sensitive organs such as intestine and gonads in pelvic-abdominal area. In this study absorbed doses of pelvic-abdomen sensitive organs such as Adrenal, Bladder, Colon and Gonads in IVU test. <stron...
متن کاملApplicator Attenuation Effect on Dose Calculations of Esophageal High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy Using EDR2 Film
Introduction Interaluminal brachytherapy is one of the important methods of esophageal cancer treatment. The effect of applicator attenuation is not considered in dose calculation method released by AAPM-TG43. In this study, the effect of High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy esophageal applicator on dose distribution was surveyed in HDR brachytherapy. Materials and Methods A cylindrical PMMA phan...
متن کاملMeasurements of (60)Co in massive steel samples exposed to the Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion.
To study discrepancies in retrospective Hiroshima dosimetry, the specific activity of (60)Co in 16 steel samples from Hiroshima was measured using gamma-ray spectrometry in underground laboratories. There is general agreement between these new activity measurements and the specific activities derived from previously calculated dose values on the one hand and former measurements of samples gathe...
