Assessment of secondary particles in breast proton therapy by Monte Carlo simulation code using MCNPX
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the equivalent dose in vital organs, including heart and lung, due to secondary particles produced during breast proton therapy. Materials and Methods: The numerical ORNL female-phantom was improved and simulated using the Monte Carlo MCNPX code. The depth-dose profile of proton beams with different energies was simulated. The proper energy ran...
متن کاملPenetration of moxifloxacin into bone evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation.
Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum of activity and good penetration into many tissues, including bone. Penetration of moxifloxacin into bone has not yet been studied using compartmental modeling techniques. Therefore, we determined the rate and extent of bone penetration by moxifloxacin and evaluated its pharmacodynamic profile in bone via Monte Carlo simulation. Twenty-fou...
متن کاملDosimetric analysis for the selection of radionuclides in bone pain palliation targeted therapy: A Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction:The use of beta emitters is one of the effective methods for palliation of bone metastasis. The risk of normal tissue toxicity should be evaluated in the bone pain palliation treatment. Methods: In this study, the Monte Carlo simulation code MCNPX was used for simulation a bone phantom model consisted of bone marrow, bone and soft tissue. Spe...
متن کاملTargeted alpha therapy using short-lived alpha-particles and the promise of nanobodies as targeting vehicle
INTRODUCTION The combination of a targeted biomolecule that specifically defines the target and a radionuclide that delivers a cytotoxic payload offers a specific way to destroy cancer cells. Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRNT) aims to deliver cytotoxic radiation to cancer cells and causes minimal toxicity to surrounding healthy tissues. Recent advances using α-particle radiation emphasizes th...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Neutrons, Protons, Ions and Alpha Particles Involved in Soft Errors in Advanced Memories
Due to cosmic rays, electronic devices such as SRAM may undergo some dysfunctions such as single event upsets also called Soft errors. A crucial issue for aerospace applications is to be able to predict the Soft Error rate of a given device in a given environment. In this work, we present a predictive tool which deals with protons and heavy ions for space applications and with neutrons for atmo...
