The influence of neutron contamination on pacemaker in photon beam radiotherapy by LINAC using the Monte Carlo method
Introduction: In radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams (E > 7 MeV) neutrons are generated mainly in LINACs head thorough (γ, n) interactions. These neutrons affect the shielding requirements in radiation therapy rooms. According to the protocol TG-34, photon absorbed dose of 10Gy can cause permanent damage to the pacemaker and the dose of 2Gy can make minor changes in...

In radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams (E > 10 MV) neutrons are generated mainly in LINACs head thorough (γ,n) interactions. These neutrons affect the shielding requirements in radiation therapy rooms. According to the AAPMTG-34 report, photon absorbed dose of 10Gy can cause permanent damage to the pacemaker and the dose of 2Gy can make minor changes in the functioning of the pac...
متن کاملHybrid, Multiscale Monte Carlo Algorithm for Simulating Stochastic Systems
INTRODUCTION Accurately relating the physiological outcome of a cell to the molecular events, based on an in silico analysis of intracellular networks, requires not only a precise knowledge of the network, but also an appropriate simulation technique. Traditionally, the methods used to temporally evolve intracellular networks have been deterministic in nature. However, deterministic methods can...
متن کاملRedrop – an Efficient Monte-carlo Method for Simulating Extraction Columns
Due to increase in the price of fossil fuels and the decrease in their reserves, renewable raw materials are industrially used more and more frequently. Therefore extraction, as an energy-saving unit operation has gained additional importance. Precise design methods for technical columns are required for the future. So far, pilot-plant experiments are carried out as a basis for equipment design...
متن کاملPhoton Beam Diffusion: A Hybrid Monte Carlo Method for Subsurface Scattering
We present photon beam diffusion, an efficient numerical method for accurately rendering translucent materials. Our approach interprets incident light as a continuous beam of photons inside the material. Numerically integrating diffusion from such extended sources has long been assumed computationally prohibitive, leading to the ubiquitous single-depth dipole approximation and the recent analyt...
