Monte Carlo calculations of dose distribution for the treatment of gastric cancer with proton therapy
Proton therapy is a common form of external radiation therapy based on the manipulation of Bragg peak of this beam, it can treat the tumor by delivering high levels of doses to it, while protecting surrounding healthy tissues against radiation. In this work, the dose distribution of proton and secondary particles such as neutrons, photons, electrons and positrons in gastric cancer proton therap...
متن کاملDose distribution changes with shielding disc misalignments and wrong orientations in breast IOERT: a Monte Carlo – GEANT4 and experimental study
One of the most relevant risks in breast intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is the incorrect positioning of the shielding disc. If such a setup error occurs, the treatment zone could receive a nonuniform dose delivery, and a considerable part of the electron beam could hit - and irradiate - the patient's healthy tissue. However misalignment and tilt angle of the shielding disc can be ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Dose Algorithm
Conventional dose calculation algorithms, such as Pencil Beam are proven effective for tumors located in homogeneous regions with similar tissue consistency such as the brain. However, these algorithms tend to overestimate the dose distribution in extracranial regions such as in the lung and head and neck regions where large inhomogeneities exist. Due to the inconsistencies seen in current calc...
متن کاملResults from Shell Model Monte Carlo Studies
We review results obtained using Shell Model Monte Carlo (SMMC) techniques. These methods reduce the imaginary-time many-body evolution operator to a coherent superposition of onebody evolutions in fluctuating one-body fields; the resultant path integral is evaluated stochastically. After a brief review of the methods, we discuss a variety of nuclear physics applications. These include studies ...
