New formula for Calculation of Cobalt-60 Percent Depth Dose
Introduction: On the basis of percent depth dose (PDD) calculation, the application of dosimetry in radiotherapy has an important role to play in reducing the chance of tumor recurrence. The aim of this study is to introduce a new formula for calculating the centeral axis percent depth doses of Cobalt-60 beam. Materials and Methods: In the present study, based on ...
متن کاملRecalculation of dose for each fraction of treatment on TomoTherapy
OBJECTIVE The VoxTox study, linking delivered dose to toxicity requires recalculation of typically 20-37 fractions per patient, for nearly 2000 patients. This requires a non-interactive interface permitting batch calculation with multiple computers. METHODS Data are extracted from the TomoTherapy(®) archive and processed using the computational task-management system GANGA. Doses are calculat...
متن کاملGamma Dose Rate Measurement and Dose Rate Calculation for Sensitive Organs in the Vicinity of Hot Springs in Kerman Province
Introduction: All of the people worldwide are exposed to low levels of radiation. Cancer induction and genetic disorders are among the hazards of low level exposure. In some cases, radiation close to hot springs is higher than normal areas due to a high concentration and the decay products of Ra-226. Given the use of hot springs by the general public because of their therapeutic p...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effects of a carbon-fiber tabletop on the surface dose and attenuation dose for megavoltage photon beams
Background: Multiple beams are generally used with an increased possibility that the beam axis intersects the treatment table. Treatment tabletops are commonly made of carbon fiber due to its high mechanical strength and rigidity, low specific density, extremely light and low radiation beam attenuation properties. Purpose of this paper is investigated the dose changes in the buildup region and ...
متن کاملDose distribution evaluation of various dose calculation algorithms in inhomogeneous media
Background: Dose calculation algorithms play a very important role in predicting the explicit dose distribution. We evaluated the percent depth dose (PDD), lateral depth dose profile, and surface dose volume histogram in inhomogeneous media using calculation algorithms and inhomogeneity correction methods. Materials and Methods: The homogeneous and inhomogeneous virtual slab phantoms used in th...
