Monte Carlo investigation of energy response of various detector materials in I125 and Yb169 brachytherapy dosimetry
Relative absorbed-dose energy response correction R for different detector materials in water, PMMA and polystyrene phantoms are calculated using Monte Carlo-based EGSnrc code system for ¹²⁵I and ¹⁶⁹Yb brachytherapy sources. The values of R obtained for ¹²⁵I source are 1.41, 0.92, 3.97, 0.47, 8.32 and 1.10, respectively, for detector materials LiF, Li₂B₄O₇ , A1₂O₃, diamond, silicon diode and ai...
متن کاملMonte Carlo investigation on precise dosimetry of HDR breast brachytherapy with Accuboost
Introduction: Accuboost is a HDR brachytherapy system in early stages breast cancer treatment. This device provides a completely noninvasive procedure with parallel-opposed radiation from two immobilizing peripheral applicators that caused it a preferred option of modalities to choose. In most commercial treatment planning systems, tissues are considered as a simple water phan...
متن کاملMonte Carlo‐based investigation of absorbed‐dose energy dependence of radiochromic films in high energy brachytherapy dosimetry
Relative absorbed dose energy response correction, R, for various radiochromic films in water phantom is calculated by the use of the Monte Carlo-based EGSnrc code system for high energy brachytherapy sources 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 169Yb. The corrections are calculated along the transverse axis of the sources (1-15 cm). The radiochromic films investigated are EBT, EBT2 (lot 020609 and lot 03110...
متن کاملThermoluminescent and Monte Carlo dosimetry of IR06‐P103d brachytherapy source
This work presents experimental dosimetry results for a new 103Pd brachytherapy seed, in accordance with the AAPM TG-43U1 recommendation that all new low-energy interstitial brachytherapy seeds should undergo one Monte Carlo (MC) and at least one experimental dosimetry characterization. Measurements were performed using TLD-GR200A circular chip dosimeters using standard methods employing thermo...
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...
