Monte Carlo Dose Algorithm
Conventional dose calculation algorithms, such as Pencil Beam are proven effective for tumors located in homogeneous regions with similar tissue consistency such as the brain. However, these algorithms tend to overestimate the dose distribution in extracranial regions such as in the lung and head and neck regions where large inhomogeneities exist. Due to the inconsistencies seen in current calc...
متن کاملStudy of the absorbed dose rate of all rays emitted from the 252Cf brachytherapy source by the Monte Carlo method
The 252Cf brachytherapy source is a spontaneous fission decay source, which is used as a neutron-emitting source. In addition to neutrons emitted from this source, gamma rays are also emitted with the average energy of 1 MeV. In this study, using the Monte Carlo N-Particle code (MCNPX), the absorbed dose rates of the neutrons, the primary gamma and the secondary gamma that generated by thermal ...
متن کاملDosimetric investigation of high dose rate Ir-192 source with Monte Carlo method
Background: This study aims to calculate the air-kerma strength (SK), the dose rate constant (∧) and the dose rate profiles of a Gammamed 12i Ir-192 source by using the Monte Carlo technique and to compare the dose rate values with those calculated by the Abacus HDR treatment planning system (TPS). Materials and Methods: Air-kerma strength (in units of U; 1 U= μGy m2 h-1) and the dose ra...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of shielded colpostat effect on rectum received dose in high dose rate brachytherapy with Cobalt-60 sources
Background: In the current study the effect of shielded colpostat on rectum received dose was calculated in cervical brachytherapy using Monte Carlo (MC) method. Materials and Methods: Two 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit used for intracavitary treatments were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Also the two types of colpostats including shielded and unshielded were simulated inside ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Study of Radiation Dose Enhancement by Gadolinium in Megavoltage and High Dose Rate Radiotherapy
MRI is often used in tumor localization for radiotherapy treatment planning, with gadolinium (Gd)-containing materials often introduced as a contrast agent. Motexafin gadolinium is a novel radiosensitizer currently being studied in clinical trials. The nanoparticle technologies can target tumors with high concentration of high-Z materials. This Monte Carlo study is the first detailed quantitati...
