Monte Carlo Dosimetry of the 60Co BEBIG High Dose Rate for Brachytherapy
INTRODUCTION The use of high-dose-rate brachytherapy is currently a widespread practice worldwide. The most common isotope source is 192Ir, but 60Co is also becoming available for HDR. One of main advantages of 60Co compared to 192Ir is the economic and practical benefit because of its longer half-live, which is 5.27 years. Recently, Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG, Germany, introduced a new afterloadin...
متن کاملRadial dose functions of GZP6 intracavitary brachytherapy 60Co sources: treatment planning system versus Monte Carlo calculations
Background: The Monte Carlo (MC) method is not only used for dose calculations around brachytherapy sources but also for benchmarking treatment planning systems (TPS) calculations. Materials and Methods: Three 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit were simulated using MCNP4C MC Code. The radial dose functions were calculated by MC method and GZP6 TPS and were compared. Results: There was a go...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Dose Calculation of 90 Sr/ 90 Y Source in Water Phantom
Introduction: 90 Sr/ 90 Y source has been used for the intravascular brachytherapy to prevent coronary restenosis in the patients who have undergone angioplasty. The aim of this research is to determine the dose distribution of 90 Sr/ 90 Y source in a water phantom. Materials and Methods: In the present work, MCNP code has been applied to calculate the dose distri...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of shielded colpostat effect on rectum received dose in high dose rate brachytherapy with Cobalt-60 sources
Background: In the current study the effect of shielded colpostat on rectum received dose was calculated in cervical brachytherapy using Monte Carlo (MC) method. Materials and Methods: Two 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit used for intracavitary treatments were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Also the two types of colpostats including shielded and unshielded were simulated inside ...
متن کاملComparison of dosimetry parameters of two commercially available Iodine brachytherapy seeds using Monte Carlo calculations
Background: Iodine brachytherapy sources with low photon energies have been widely used in treating cancerous tumors. Dosimetric parameters of brachytherapy sources should be determined according to AAPM TG-43U1 recommendations before clinical use. Monte Carlo codes are reliable tools in calculation of these parameters for brachytherapy sources. Materials and Methods: Dosimetric param...
