Site-specific range uncertainties caused by dose calculation algorithms for proton therapy.
The purpose of this study was to assess the possibility of introducing site-specific range margins to replace current generic margins in proton therapy. Further, the goal was to study the potential of reducing margins with current analytical dose calculations methods. For this purpose we investigate the impact of complex patient geometries on the capability of analytical dose calculation algori...
متن کاملDevelopment and implementation of a Monte Carlo frame work for evaluation of patient specific out- of - field organ equivalent dose
Background: The aim of this study was to develop and implement a Monte Carlo framework for evaluation of patient specific out-of-field organ equivalent dose (OED). Materials and Methods: Dose calculations were performed using a Monte Carlo-based model of Oncor linac and tomographic phantoms. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using EGSnrc user codes. Dose measurements were performed using r...
متن کاملDevelopment of a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector for range measurements of spot-scanned proton beams
The goal of the present study is to develop a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector and investigate its performance for beam range measurements in real time. The detector design consists of a tank filled with water-equivalent liquid scintillator that scintillates in response to incident proton beams. Three scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (sCMOS) cameras collect the resulting ...
متن کاملEffects of the modulator and range compensator blades on Bragg curve and calculating the secondary particle dose in proton-therapy of thymus gland cancer using MCNPX, FLUKA and GEANT4 codes
The thymus gland is an endocrine gland that plays an important role in the body’s immunity. Thymus gland cancer happens very rarely and one treatment way is radiation therapy. Due to the location of this gland and its proximity to the sensitive organs, radiation therapy of thymus gland cancer will bring the risk of side effects. In this paper, a Mird phantom is simulated and a modulator and ran...
متن کاملMonte 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...
