Monte carlo simulation of varian clinac iX 10 MV photon beam for small field dosimetry
Background: The lack of lateral electronic disequilibrium (LED) becomes a main problem in small field. This factor affects the dose in target volume cannot predict correctly. In addition, utilization of high-energy linear accelerator (10 MV) can emit some unwanted particles (electron contamination). Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize head linear accelerator (linac) Varian Clin...
متن کاملSmall photon field dosimetry using EBT2 Gafchromic film and Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy especially in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments. Accurate beam profile and central axis depth doses measurements of such beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium. Hence the EBT2 (external beam therapy) Gafchromic film was used for dosimetry of sm...
متن کاملImage Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceuticals. All these make reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult. Simulation of a SP...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Simulation of Photon Beam Generated by a Linear Accelerator
ntroduction: Monte Carlo simulation is the most accurate method of simulating radiation transport and predicting doses at different points of interest in radiotherapy. A great advantage of the Monte Carlo method compared to the deterministic methods is the ability to deal accurately with any complex geometry. Its disadvantage is the extremely long computing time r...
متن کاملEstimation of Photon Specific Absorbed Fractions in Digimouse Voxel Phantom using Monte Carlo Simulation Code FLUKA
Background: Most preclinical studies are carried out on mice. For internal dose assessment of a mouse, specific absorbed fraction (SAF) values play an important role. In most studies, SAF values are estimated using older standard human organ compositions and values for limited source target pairs.Objective: SAF values for monoenergetic photons of energies 15, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 4000 keV...
