Thermoluminescent and Monte Carlo dosimetry of IR06‐P103d brachytherapy source
This work presents experimental dosimetry results for a new 103Pd brachytherapy seed, in accordance with the AAPM TG-43U1 recommendation that all new low-energy interstitial brachytherapy seeds should undergo one Monte Carlo (MC) and at least one experimental dosimetry characterization. Measurements were performed using TLD-GR200A circular chip dosimeters using standard methods employing thermo...
متن کاملMonte Carlo dosimetry of a new 90Y brachytherapy source
PURPOSE In this study, we attempted to obtain full dosimetric data for a new (90)Y brachytherapy source developed by the College of Chemistry (Sichuan University) for use in high-dose-rate after-loading systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS The dosimetric data for this new source were used as required by the dose calculation formalisms proposed by the AAPM Task Group 60 and Task Group 149. The active...
متن کاملEstimation of dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 using GATE8.1 code
Brachytherapy is one type of internal radiation therapy where radiation sources, which are usually encapsulated are placed as close as possible to the tumor site inside the patient's body. In this technique, it is important to determine dose distribution around the brachytherapy capsule. Hereby, in this paper, dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 are estimated accordin...
متن کاملRecent developments in brachytherapy source dosimetry
Application of radioactive isotopes is the treatment of choice around the globe for many cancer sites. In this technique, the accuracy of the radiation delivery is highly dependent on the accuracy of radiation dosimetry around individual brachytherapy sources. Moreover, in order to have compatible clinical results, an identical method of source dosimetry must be employed across the world. This ...
متن کاملEGSnrc Monte Carlo-aided dosimetric studies of the new BEBIG 60Co HDR brachytherapy source
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to obtain the dosimetric parameters of the new BEBIG (60)Co brachytherapy source following by TG-43U1 recommendation with appropriate electron cutoff energy (0.521 MeV). MATERIAL AND METHODS The new BEBIG (60)Co brachytherapy source is used to calculate the TG-43U1 parameters. EGSnrc-based Monte Carlo simulation code has been used to calculate the radial d...
