Recent developments in brachytherapy source dosimetry
Application of radioactive isotopes is the treatment of choice around the globe for many cancer sites. In this technique, the accuracy of the radiation delivery is highly dependent on the accuracy of radiation dosimetry around individual brachytherapy sources. Moreover, in order to have compatible clinical results, an identical method of source dosimetry must be employed across the world. This ...
متن کاملRecent developments in brachytherapy source dosimetry
rachytherapy, the treatment of cancer patients by placing sealed radioactive elements at the short distances relative to the tumor, was born soon after Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity in Paris (1896) and Marie Curie’s discovery of radium (1898). However, within the past several years there have been great improvements in the technical aspect of the brachytherapy procedures (Blasko ...

متن کاملTG-60 dosimetry parameters calculation for the β-emitter 153Sm brachytherapy source using MCNP
Background: The formalism recommended by Task Group 60 (TG-60) of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is applicable for β sources. Radioactive biocompatible and biodegradable 153Sm glass seed without encapsulation is a β- emitter with a short half life and delivers a high dose rate to the tumor in the millimeter range. In this work the dosimetry parameters of the ...
متن کاملDetermining TG-43 brachytherapy dosimetry parameters and dose distribution for a 131Cs source model CS-1
Background: Monte Carlo determination of TG-43 brachytherapy dosimetry parameters and dose distribution calculation for 131Cs source model CS-1 are presented in this study. Materials and Methods: The dose distribution was calculated around the 131Cs Model CS-1 located in the center of 30 cm ×30 cm ×30 cm water, and soft tissue phantoms cube using MCNP code by Monte Carlo method. The percentage ...
