Rabbit internal dosimetry for iodine-131 using GATE Monte Carlo simulation code: a preclinical trial
Introduction: One of the main concerns in administration of radiotracers, especially in therapeutic arm, is the amount of delivered dose to the different organs. Individual variations of anatomy, physiology and underlying pathology in the patients lead to alteration of administered activity. In the current study we preclinically applied internal dosimetry using an animal mod...
متن کاملSiemens primus accelerator simulation using EGSnrc Monte Carlo code and gel dosimetry validation with optical computed tomography system by EGSnrc code
Monte Carlo method is the most accurate method for simulation of radiation therapy equipment. The linear accelerators (linac) are currently the most widely used machines in radiation therapy centers. Monte Carlo modeling of the Siemens Primus linear accelerator in 6 MeV beams was used. Square field size of 10 × 10 cm2 produced by the jaws was compared with TLD. Head simulation of Siemens accele...
متن کاملBayesian internal dosimetry calculations using Markov Chain Monte Carlo.
A new numerical method for solving the inverse problem of internal dosimetry is described. The new method uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo and the Metropolis algorithm. Multiple intake amounts, biokinetic types, and times of intake are determined from bioassay data by integrating over the Bayesian posterior distribution. The method appears definitive, but its application requires a large amount of...
متن کاملCalculation of airkerma conversion factor to personal dose equivalent at various depths using the Monte Carlo Code GATE
Several studies have been done with the aim of improving the quality of the radiation protection measurement in radiology and nuclear medicine. Among different subjects which are capable to be considered in this area, the measurement of the operational quantities of protection against the radiation ,such as, personal dose equivalent ,HP(d), at different depths (d=0.07mm, 3mm, 10mm) is an impor...
متن کاملUnfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
