Modeling photon output caused by backscattered radiation into the monitor chamber from collimator jaws using a Monte Carlo technique.
Dose per monitor unit in photon fields generated by clinical linear accelerators can be affected by the backscattered radiation into the monitor chamber from collimator jaws. Thus, it is necessary to account for the backscattered radiation in computing monitor unit setting for a treatment field. In this work, we investigated effects of the backscatter from collimator jaws based on Monte Carlo s...
متن کاملMonte Carlo modeling of ion beam induced secondary electrons.
Ion induced secondary electrons (iSE) can produce high-resolution images ranging from a few eV to 100keV over a wide range of materials. The interpretation of such images requires knowledge of the secondary electron yields (iSE δ) for each of the elements and materials present and as a function of the incident beam energy. Experimental data for helium ions are currently limited to 40 elements a...
متن کاملComparison of measured and Monte Carlo calculated dose distributions from “circular collimators” for radiosurgical beams
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. A dosimetry study was performed for Elekta ‘Synergy S ’ as a dedicated Stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the BEAM/EGS4...
متن کاملThe influence of neutron contamination on pacemaker in photon beam radiotherapy by LINAC using the Monte Carlo method
In radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams (E > 10 MV) neutrons are generated mainly in LINACs head thorough (γ,n) interactions. These neutrons affect the shielding requirements in radiation therapy rooms. According to the AAPMTG-34 report, photon absorbed dose of 10Gy can cause permanent damage to the pacemaker and the dose of 2Gy can make minor changes in the functioning of the pac...
