Total skin electron therapy (TSET): Monte Carlo Simulation and implementation
Introduction: Total skin electron irradiation technique is used in treatment of the mycosis fungoid. The implementation of this technique requires non-standard measurements and complex dosimetry methods. Operating procedures for total skin electron irradiation and its dosimetry vary in different radiation therapy centers in the world. In this article, validation of TSET techniq...
متن کاملEvaluation putty metal as internal shield for patient protection of electron therapy by Monte Carlo study
Introduction: In this study, a specific combination (70% W 18.61% Ni and 11.39% C) of lead free and flexible putty metal is introduced and validated as internal shielding by Mont Carlo study Materials and Methods: To evaluate putty metal as an internal shielding by Mont Carlo study Varian 2100 C/D was validated within measurement and then by given energy spect...
متن کاملMonte Carlo characterization of photoneutrons in the radiation therapy with high energy photons: a Comparison between simplified and full Monte Carlo models
Background: The characteristics of secondary neutrons in a high energy radiation therapy room were studied using the MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: Two MC models including a model with full description of head components and a simplified model used in previous studies were implemented for MC simulations. Results: Results showed 4-53% difference between full and wit...
متن کاملEvaluation of the electron energy fluence and angular distributions from a clinical accelerator. A BEAMnrc Monte Carlo study
Background: Understanding of the incident electron energy and angular distributions from clinical electron accelerators (linacs) is important for dosimetry and treatment planning. The most important goals of this study were to evaluate the energy fluence and angular distributions of electron beams from a Neptun 10PC linac using the Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: The lina...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Electron Beams produced by LIAC Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Accelerator
Background: One of the main problems of dedicated IORT accelerators is to determine dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams. Monte Carlo simulation of IORT accelerator head and produced beam will be useful to improve the accuracy of beam dosimetry.Materials and Methods: Liac accelerator head was modeled using the BEAMnrcMonte Carlo simulation system. Phase-space files were generated at...
