Examination of Jeltrate®Plus as a tissue equivalent bolus material
A product available commercially for making dental impressions, Jeltrate Plus, was evaluated as a tissue equivalent bolus material. Jeltrate Plus was found to be tissue equivalent in 6 and 15 MV photon energy beams and 6, 12, and 20 MeV electron energy beams. As a first step, different preparations for making the bolus material were investigated and an optimal mixture was determined to be two p...
متن کاملThe Comparison of the shares of stopping power in a soft tissue-equivalent material
Introduction: Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that it uses protons to treat cancer. Because of the protons’ unique ability to distribute the radiation dose more directly to the tumor, it minimizes the damage to nearby healthy tissues. The rate of energy loss by the ion in the target is called stopping power. The total stopping power is sum nuclear and electroni...
متن کاملIntroducing a bony composite as tissue equivalent for radiotherapy phantoms
The use of a device that simulates the actual condition, as well as being equivalent to the human body in materials and tissues, and having the capability of acting like internal motions of human body is necessary to investigate and simulate the motion of a tumor in radiotherapy and to evaluate dosimetrical coverage of the dynamic target. This device which is called the dynamic phantom should s...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Synthetic Tissue- Equivalent Material for CT Imaging Applications
Introduction: The use of a simple tissue analog material in the fabrication of medical computed tomography (CT) imaging phantoms has great potential to help researchers. The purpose of the present study is to develop new gel tissue-equivalent materials and determine whether their CT numbers and relative electron densities vary in CT images obtained by scans at different energie...
متن کاملPhysical Properties of Ethyl Methacrylate as a Bolus in Radiotherapy
Introduction Bolus is a soft and resilient material which is used for increasing skin dose or to even out the irregular patient contour. The main property of various materials used presently as bolus is the water-equivalent electron density. Ethyl methacrylate is used as a soft-liner in dentistry and its physical and chemical properties are proved to be nontoxic for human body. The goal of this...
