New Deformity Outline on the Breast Radiation Therapy for diminishing Absorbed Dose Ratio

چکیده
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases in women. After tumor mass surgery, radiation therapy regularly taken into account gold standard for treatment. Kilo to Mega voltage photons have been suggested due their characteristic depth dose build-up regime, reducing breast skin a fraction maximum exposure. During treatment, mean glandular commonly used as criterion identifying risks. Here, two outlines cubic-rectangular (CR) and cylindrical- taper (CT) were modelled together with corresponding assumptions using Monte-Carlo simulation recorded absorbed ratio (ADR) values compared via defined positron source by 511 keV energy. The results showed that amounts absorption scattering cross-sections next ADR amount decreased height CR outline decreased. average was reduced about 96% CT outline. By increasing distance from nipple, both outlines. accumulated harshly rather than This study can be useful examine tissue deformity treatment planning.

A new method for ideal dose distribution of two adjacent fields for external beam radiation therapy
Abstract Background: Adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-Y fields for the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. In each of these situations, there is a p...
متن کاملIncreased absorbed liver dose in Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) correlates with increased sphere-cluster frequency and absorbed dose inhomogeneity
BACKGROUND The higher tolerated mean absorbed dose for selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with intra-arterially infused (90)Y microspheres compared to external beam therapy is speculated to be caused by absorbed dose inhomogeneity, which allows for liver regeneration. However, the complex liver microanatomy and rheology makes modelling less valuable if the tolerance doses are not based...
متن کاملMeasuring the photon and thermal neutron dose values of contralateral breast surface undergone breast cancer radiation therapy
This research aimed to measure the received photon and thermal neutron doses to contralateral breast (CB) surface in breast cancer radiation therapy for different field sizes in presence of dynamic and physical wedges. The photon and thermal neutron doses were measured by thermo uminescent dosimeter (TLDs) chips for 11 × 13, 11 × 17 and 11 × 21 cm2 field sizes in presence of physical and dynamic ...
متن کاملSkin Reaction in Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer
Introduction The first medical intervention for many breast cancer patients is breast conserving surgery (BCS) and/or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Most of these patients undergo radiation therapy, following surgery. The most common side-effect of breast radiotherapy is skin damage. In the present study, the severity of acute skin changes and the underlying causes were investigated in pati...
متن کاملMeasuring the temperature dependence of refractive index in water phantom for precise monitoring of the absorbed dose by radiation therapy techniques
In this paper, an experimental setup is used to measure the temperature dependence of the refractive index of a water phantom. In radiation calorimetry by laser beams and interferometric systems, the amount of change induced by radiation within the phantom can be accurately measured. Absorption of dose and the resulted change in temperature changes the refractive index within the material. In o...
