Monte Carlo calculated doses to treatment volumes and organs at risk for permanent implant lung brachytherapy.
Iodine-125 ((125)I) and Caesium-131 ((131)Cs) brachytherapy have been used with sublobar resection to treat stage I non-small cell lung cancer and other radionuclides, (169)Yb and (103)Pd, are considered for these treatments. This work investigates the dosimetry of permanent implant lung brachytherapy for a range of source energies and various implant sites in the lung. Monte Carlo calculated d...
متن کاملThe Effect of Scattering from Leg Region on Organ Doses in Prostate Brachytherapy for 103Pd, 125I and 131Cs Seeds
Introduction Dose calculation of tumor and surrounding tissues is essential during prostate brachytherapy. Three radioisotopes, namely, 125I, 103Pd, and 131Cs, are extensively used in this method. In this study, we aimed to calculate the received doses by the prostate and critical organs using the aforementioned radioactive seeds and to investigate the effect of scattering contribution for the ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Prostate Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Using PRIMO Software: A Feasibility Study
Introduction: Nowadays Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is a common method for treating prostate cancers. Must of the Monte Carlo software cannot simulate the IMRT procedures due to inability of these soft wares to simulate the multi leaf collimator (MLC) positions or movements. A new user-friendly software based on the PENELOPE Monte Carlo code named PRIMO was published...
متن کاملRadioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation
Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...
متن کاملA GEANT4 Monte-Carlo Simulation Code for precision β spectroscopy
The measurement of the β asymmetry parameter in nuclear β decay is a potentially very sensitive tool to search for non V −A components in the charge-changing weak interaction. To reach the required precision (percent level) all effects that modify the emission pattern of the β radiation, i.e. the geometry of the setup, the effect of the magnetic field on the trajectories of β particles as well ...
