Monte Carlo dosimetry for forthcoming clinical trials in x-ray microbeam radiation therapy.
The purpose of this work is to define safe irradiation protocols in microbeam radiation therapy. The intense synchrotron-generated x-ray beam used for the treatment is collimated and delivered in an array of 50 microm-sized rectangular fields with a centre-to-centre distance between microplanes of 400 microm. The absorbed doses received by the tumour and the healthy tissues in a human head phan...
متن کاملDosimetry of Occupational Radiation around Panoramic X-ray Apparatus
Background: Panoramic imaging is one of the most common imaging methods in dentistry. Regarding the side-effects of ionizing radiation, it is necessary to survey different aspects and details of panoramic imaging. In this study, we compared the absorbed x-ray dose around two panoramic x-ray units: PM 2002 CC Proline (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland) and Cranex Tome (Soredex, Helsinki, Finland).<br ...
متن کاملCALDose_X online: Web-based, real time Monte Carlo calculations for patient dosimetry in X-ray diagnosis
CALDose_X 5.0 is a software package for the calculations of organ and tissue absorbed doses, as well as cancer risks for patients submitted to examinations of conventional radiography which can be downloaded from www.caldose.org. The program is based on conversion coefficients (CCs) between organ and tissue absorbed dose and measurable quantities, calculated with the MASH and FASH adult referen...
متن کاملApplication of MCNP4C Monte Carlo code in radiation dosimetry in heterogeneous phantom
Background: In treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by ICRU in report 24. The experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. Therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...
متن کاملRevealing the underlying mechanism of microbeam radiation therapy with low energy Monte Carlo simulations
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a new experimental oncological modality, intended for the treatment of inoperable brain tumours, particularly in difficult cases where conventional radiation therapy can cause irreversible damage. MRT consists of an array of highly collimated, quasi-parallel x-ray microbeams aimed at the tumour tissue, delivering high dose within the beam path and low doses ...
