چکیده
The spatial distribution of energy deposition events is an essential aspect in the determination radiobiological effects ionizing radiation at cellular level. Microdosimetry provides a theoretical framework for description these events, and has been used several studies to address problems such as characterization Linear Energy Transfer (LET) Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) ion beams proton therapy applications. quantities their distributions can be obtained by means Monte Carlo simulations. In this work, we present track structure (MC) application, based on Geant4-DNA, computation microdosimetric protons liquid water. This application two sampling methods uniform weighted , scoring interest spherical sites, with diameters ranging from 1 10 μm. As element novelty, work shows approach followed calculate, without resorting dedicated simulations, imparted site per electronic collision proton, which obtain macroscopic dose-averaged LET proposed Kellerer. Furthermore, concept effective mean chord length take into account δ-ray influx escape calculation segments retrieve agreement predicted Kellerer’s formula. Finally, results demonstrate that our MC reliable computational-efficient perform calculations

Investigation of the direct DNA damages irradiated by protons of different energies using geant4-DNA toolkit
Background: The total yields of direct Single-Strand Breaks (SSBs) and Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) in proton energies varying from 0.1 to 40 MeV were calculated. While other studies in this field have not used protons with energy less than 0.5 MeV, our results show interesting and complicated behavior of these protons. Materials and Methods: The simulation has been done using the Geant4-DNA too...

Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...
متن کاملDose point kernels in liquid water: an intra-comparison between GEANT4-DNA and a variety of Monte Carlo codes.
Modeling the radio-induced effects in biological medium still requires accurate physics models to describe the interactions induced by all the charged particles present in the irradiated medium in detail. These interactions include inelastic as well as elastic processes. To check the accuracy of the very low energy models recently implemented into the GEANT4 toolkit for modeling the electron sl...
متن کاملRadial dose distributions from protons of therapeutic energies calculated with Geant4-DNA.
Models based on the amorphous track structure approximation have been successful in predicting the biological effects of heavy charged particles. Development of such models remains an active area of research that includes applications to hadrontherapy. In such models, the radial distribution of the dose deposited by delta electrons and directly by the particle is the main characteristic of trac...
