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 کاملDevelopment of an Advanced Optical Coherence Tomography System for Radiation Dosimetry
Introduction: According to the literature, optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used measure radiation absorbed dose. This study was carried out to design a computed tomography system for the calculation of absorbed dose and optimization of dose delivery in radiotherapy using gel dosimeters. Material and Methods: An advanced charge-coupled device based OCT system was developed in laborator...
متن کاملdevelopment of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles
a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
Calculation of gel dose after external radiation therapy using optical CT
In this study, the MAGIC- f polymer gel was used to determine the absorbed dose by external radiation therapy. The MAGIC- f gel was made under normal pressure and temperature conditions and irradiated with a Siemens 6MV linear accelerator at 10 × 10 cm2 and at a depth of 10 cm. While simulating the head of the accelerator unit by the Monte Carlo method with BEAMnrc code, the percentage depth do...
متن کاملExternal beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Men with non-metastatic prostate cancer have many treatment options. For over 35 years, radiation therapy has been a mainstay of treatment for this disease. With improvements in technology and better use of pretreatment prognostic factors, such as prostate specific antigen level and Gleason score, biochemical and clinical results have steadily improved. This article reviews the current status o...
