متن کاملComparison of 60Co and 192Ir sources in HDR brachytherapy
This paper compares the isotopes (60)Co and (192)Ir as radiation sources for high-dose-rate (HDR) afterloading brachytherapy. The smaller size of (192)Ir sources made it the preferred radionuclide for temporary brachytherapy treatments. Recently also (60)Co sources have been made available with identical geometrical dimensions. This paper compares the characteristics of both nuclides in differe...
متن کاملProducing 65Zn and 60Co gamma sources for energy and efficiency calibration of gamma spectrometry systems
Precise calibration of energy and efficiency of gamma spectrometry systems for different geometries is very important. In most cases, preparation of these sources for educational and research centers is very difficult due to high costs and lack of access to the reactor. The purpose of this paper is to explain the procedure for production of calibration sources 65Zn and 60Co using instrumental ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Calculation of Beam Quality and Phantom Scatter Corrections for Lithium Formate Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Dosimeter for High-energy Brachytherapy Dosimetry
PURPOSE To investigate beam quality correction, KQQ0 (r) and phantom scatter correction, Kphan (r) for lithium formate dosimeter as a function of distance r along the transverse axis of the high-energy brachytherapy sources 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 169Yb using the Monte Carlo-based EGSnrc code system. MATERIALS AND METHODS The brachytherapy sources investigated in this study are BEBIG High Dose...
متن کاملDosimetric characteristics of 137Cs sources used in after loading Selectron system by Monte Carlo method
Background: For an effective treatment planning in brachytherapy, it is necessary to know the accurate source dosimetric information such as air kerma strength, exposure rate constant, dose rate constant and redial dose distribution. The usual method to determine these factors is thermo luminescent dosimeter (TLD) dosimetry. Nowadays, another more accurate method is known to be the Monte Carlo ...
