Dose measurement of cobalt-60 radiotherapy beams in treatment fields.
BACKGROUND Radiation-therapy is a complex process with multiple steps, each of which has an impact on the quality of treatment. Accurate dosimetry is a critical step during the radiotherapy of cancer patients.The aim of the present study was to measure and evaluate the doses of two cobalt- 60 (60Co) teletherapy units GWXJ80 of NPIC China and Theratron 780 of AECL Canada at various points within...
متن کاملHigh Energy Gamma Rays
This article reviews the present status of high energy γ-ray astronomy at energies above 30 MeV. Observations in the past decade using both spaceand ground-based experiments have been primarily responsible for giving a tremendous boost to our knowledge of the high energy Universe. High energy γ-rays have been detected from a wide range of Galactic and extragalactic astrophysical sources, such a...
متن کاملPhoton-photon Absorption of Very High Energy Gamma Rays from Microquasars: Application to Ls 5039
Very high energy (VHE) γ-rays have recently been detected from the Galactic black-hole candidate and microquasar LS 5039. A plausible site for the production of these VHE γ-rays is the mildly relativistic outflow close to the base of the jet. However, at distances comparable to the binary separation, the intense photon field of the stellar companion will lead to substantial γγ absorption of VHE...
متن کاملDiamond detector in absorbed dose measurements in high‐energy linear accelerator photon and electron beams
Diamond detectors (DD) are preferred in small field dosimetry of radiation beams because of small dose profile penumbras, better spatial resolution, and tissue-equivalent properties. We investigated a commercially available 'microdiamond' detector in realizing absorbed dose from first principles. A microdiamond detector, type TM 60019 with tandem electrometer is used to measure absorbed doses i...
متن کاملDose Calculations for Lung Inhomogeneity in High-Energy Photon Beams and Small Beamlets: A Comparison between XiO and TiGRT Treatment Planning Systems and MCNPX Monte Carlo Code
Introduction Radiotherapy with small fields is used widely in newly developed techniques. Additionally, dose calculation accuracy of treatment planning systems in small fields plays a crucial role in treatment outcome. In the present study, dose calculation accuracy of two commercial treatment planning systems was evaluated against Monte Carlo method. Materials and Methods Siemens Once or linea...
