Assessment of The Relation Between Energy Of Primary Protons And Undesired Neutron Dose During Proton Therapy By Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: High-energy beams of protons offer significant advantages for the treatment of deepseated local tumors. Their physical depth-dose distribution in tissue is characterized by a small entrance dose and a distinct maximum -Bragg peak- near the end of range with a sharp fall-off at the distal edge. Alongside its advantages there are some point that they need to meticul...
متن کاملRelative biological effectiveness of the 235 MeV proton beams at the National Cancer Center Hospital East.
A therapy-dedicated cyclotron was installed in the National Cancer Center Hospital East (NCCHE) at Kashiwa in 1997. Prior to the start of clinical use, we investigated the biological effectiveness of therapeutic proton beams for cell lethality. The proton beams accelerated up to 235 MeV were horizontally extracted from the cyclotron, and scattered by a bar-ridge filter to produce a Spread-Out-B...
متن کاملRBE of Neutrons at Energies of 36 keV-15 MeV and Photons at Energies of 1
We examined the induction of dicentrics in human lymphocytes irradiated in vitro with nearly monoenergetic neutrons at energies in the range of 36 keV-15.0 MeV and monochromatic X-rays in the range of 1.8 keV-40 keV. For the assessment of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) both 220 kV X-rays and Co γ-rays were used as reference radiations. To avoid potential confounding factors that wo...
متن کاملImpact of range straggling and multiple scattering on proton therapy of brain, using a slab head phantom
Background: The advantages of proton beam in radiation therapy- like small lateral scattering as well as absence of exit dose tail in the organs which are after the tumor- make it capable of delivering more treatment doses to the target and much lesser to the critical tissues near it. Materials and Methods: In this study, the Monte Carlo MCNPX code has been used to simulate a slab head phantom ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Relative Biological Effectiveness of Proton Beams and Iso-effective Dose Profiles Using Geant4
Background: The assessment of RBE quantity in the treatment of cancer tumors with proton beams in treatment planning systems (TPS) is of high significance. Given the significance of the issue and the studies conducted in the literature, this quantity is fixed and is taken as equal to 1.1.Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess RBE quantity of proton beams and their variations ...
