Dose 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...
متن کاملDetermination of human absorbed dose from [153Sm]-Samarium maltolate based on distribution data in rats
Background: Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are designed to deliver high doses of radiation to selected target organs with an aim of minimizing unwanted radiation to surrounding healthy tissue. Due to the potential of targeted radiotherapy to treat a wide range of malignant conditions, [153Sm]-samarium maltolate was developed for possible therapeutic applications. Materials and Methods: The or...
متن کاملGeneration of Love Wave in a Media with Temperature Dependent Properties Over a Heterogeneous Substratum
The present paper deals with the generation of Love waves in a layer of finite thickness over an initially stressed heterogeneous semi-infinite media. The rigidity and density of the layer are functions of temperature, i.e. they are temperature dependent. The lower substratum is an initially stressed medium and its rigidity and density vary linearly with the depth. The frequency relation of Lo...
متن کاملAbsorbed dose to water reference dosimetry using solid phantoms in the context of absorbed-dose protocols.
For reasons of phantom material reproducibility, the absorbed dose protocols of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) (TG-51) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (TRS-398) have made the use of liquid water as a phantom material for reference dosimetry mandatory. In this work we provide a formal framework for the measurement of absorbed dose to water using ioniz...
متن کاملThe Importance of absorbed dose in medical applications
Radiation damage depends on energy absorption, and is approximately proportional to the absorbed energy density in the tissue. In external radiation consideration with a certain energy flux, the amount of absorbed dose in each point of the tissue depends on the type of radiation, the radiation energy, the depth of the place of receipt, and the main components of the absorber environment. The ab...
