Monte Carlo characterization of 169Yb as a high‐dose‐rate source for brachytherapy application by FLUKA code
Higher initial dose rate and simplifying HDR room treatment of 169Yb element among other brachytherapy sources has led to investigating its feasibility as high-dose-rate seed. In this work, Monte Carlo calculation was performed to obtain dosimetric parameters of 169Yb, Model M42 source at different radial distances according to AAPM TG-43U1 and HEBD Report about HDR sources in both air vacuum a...
متن کاملDosimetric characterization of a high dose rate 192I source for brachytherapy application using Monte Carlo simulation and benchmarking with thermoluminescent dosimetry
Background: The purpose of this project was to derive the brachytherapy dosimetric functions described by American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) TG-43 U1 based on high dose rate 192I sources. Materials and Methods: The method utilized included both simulation of the designed Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) phantom using the Monte Carlo of MCNP4C and benchmarking of the simulation ...

Introduction: Nowadays, the use of heavy ion beams in cancer therapy have been developed worldwide. Materials and Methods: It requires accurate understanding of the complex processes of ion interaction with matter, as it is the calculation the relative dose & range of these ions in matter. In the present study we used FLUKA as a numerical Monte Carlo simula...
متن کاملSU-E-T-319: Monte Carlo Characterization of a New Directional Pd-103 High Dose Rate Source for Brachytherapy Application.
PURPOSE Standard brachytherapy sources emit radiation in a non-preferential direction away from the source. Though treatment outcomes are good, this can lead to late skin and subcutaneous toxicities in sensitive structures. Proposed low dose rate directional sources for interstitial brachytherapy, showed to have an improvement in the dose uniformity within the subcutaneous volume, reduction in ...
