Dosimetric investigation of beta-emitting ophthalmic plaques for treatment of ocular tumors
Understanding the dose distribution of beta-emitting eye plaques respect to the location of tumor is of importance. In this study, the geometry of CCB, COB and CIB plaques (BEBIG manufacturer) for specific eye tumors were simulated and the effects of different coated radionuclides and plaque materials were investigated, by Geant4 simulation toolkit. For validation, a dosimetric investigation wa...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Study of Several Concrete Shielding Materials Containing Galena and Borated Minerals
Introduction: The heavyweight concretes have been widely used for constructing medical or industrial radiation facilities with photon sources. Materials and Methods: In this study, heavy concretes containing galena (PbS) and several borated minerals are proposed as suitable materials against photons. The shielding properties of 21 galena concretes containing seven borated minerals with three m...
متن کاملAssessment of the Radiation Attenuation Properties of Several Lead Free Composites by Monte Carlo Simulation
Background:In diagnostic radiology lead apron, are usually used to protect patients and radiology staff against ionizing radiation. Lead apron is a desirable shield due to high absorption and effective attenuation of x-ray photons in the diagnostic radiology range.Objective: Although lead aprons have good radiation protection properties, in recent years, researchers have been looking for altern...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Dosimetric Parameters of Cs-137 Brachytherapy Source in Different Tissues with Water Using Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction After the publication of Task Group number 43 dose calculation formalism by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), this method has been known as the most common dose calculation method in brachytherapy treatment planning. In this formalism, the water phantom is introduced as the reference dosimetry phantom, while the attenuation coefficient of the sources in the...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of two 106Ru eye plaques in a new mathematical human eye model
BEBIG Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques have been used for treatment of uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, melanoma of the iris and other special applications for many years. The plaques consist of a thin film of 106Ru, a beta emitter, encapsulated in pure silver. The present work proposes a new mathematical eye model for ophthalmic brachytherapy dosimetry. This new mod...
