Peripheral dose measurement with a MOSFET detector.
The accuracy of a MOSFET dosimetry system with respect to peripheral therapeutic doses from high-energy X-rays has been evaluated. The results have been compared with ionisation chamber measurements in the same peripheral regions of the beam. For 6 MV and 18 MV X-ray beams, the MOSFET system in the high-sensitivity mode produces reproducibility of dose measurement with relative standard deviati...
متن کاملDose measurement outside of radiotherapy treatment field (Peripheral dose) using thermoluminesent dosimeters
Background: In radiation therapy, peripheral dose or the dose outside the radiotherapy field, is important when anatomical structures with very low dose tolerances are involved. One of these critical organs in pelvic irradiation is testis. The amount of radiation delivered to the testes in radiotherapy must be kept as small as possible, consistent with the limit dose of this organ. The threshol...

متن کاملThe Effect of Breast Reconstruction Prosthesis on Photon Dose Distribution in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
Introduction: Siliconeprosthetic implants are commonlyutilizedfor tissue replacement and breast augmentation after mastectomy. On the other hand, some patients require adjuvant radiotherapy in order to preventlocal-regional recurrence and increment ofthe overall survival. In case of recurrence, the radiation oncologist might have to irradiate the prosthesis.The aim of this study was to evaluate...
متن کاملThe effect of high energy photon beam in dose- volume parameters and integral dose of normal structures in Head and neck IMRT
Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of partially used high photon energies on dosimetric parameters and integral doses of nasopharynx IMRT plans. Materials and Methods: Two 7 coplanar IMRT plan were created for eleven patients (6 MV only IMRT plan in both phase1 and phase2 and 6 MV phase1-mixed energies (6 MV and 15 MV) phase2...
