Investigation and Comparison of Metal Nanoparticles on Dose Enhancement Effect in Radiotherapy Using Monte Carlo Simulation Method
Introduction: The main goal of radiation therapy is destroying the tumor so that the surrounded healthy tissues have received the least amount of radiation at the same time. In recent years, the use of nanoparticles has received much attention due to the increasing effects they can have on the deposited dose into the cancer cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nanopart...
متن کاملemittance control in high power linacs
چکیده این پایان نامه به بررسی اثر سیم پیچ مغناطیسی و کاوه یِ خوشه گر با بسامد رادیویی بر هاله و بیرونگراییِ باریکه هایِ پیوسته و خوشه ایِ ذرات باردار در شتابدهنده های خطیِ یونی، پروتونی با جریان بالا می پردازد و راه حل هایی برای بهینه نگهداشتن این کمیتها ارایه می دهد. بیرونگرایی یکی از کمیتهای اساسی باریکه هایِ ذرات باردار در شتابدهنده ها است که تاثیر قابل توجهی بر قیمت، هزینه و کاراییِ هر شتابدهند...
A Monte Carlo Study for Photoneutron Dose Estimations around the High-Energy Linacs
Background: High-energy linear accelerator (linac) is a valuable tool and the most commonly device for external beam radiation treatments in cancer patients. In the linac head, high-energy photons with energies above the threshold of interaction produce photoneutrons. These photoneutrons deliver the extra dose to the patients in the planning treatment and increase the risk of secondary cancer.O...
متن کاملSimulation of the BNCT of Brain Tumors Using MCNP Code: Beam Designing and Dose Evaluation
Introduction BNCT is an effective method to destroy brain tumoral cells while sparing the healthy tissues. The recommended flux for epithermal neutrons is 109 n/cm2s, which has the most effectiveness on deep-seated tumors. In this paper, it is indicated that using D-T neutron source and optimizing of Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) leads to treating brain tumors in a reasonable time where all IAEA ...
متن کاملOptimum neutron energy simulation in treatment of head and neck cancer at different depths in the BNCT method
Introduction: Recently head and neck cancer has pay attention to many researchers. Its therapeutic methods include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). BNCT is better than conventional radiotherapy because it targets the tumor cell. This method involves two steps of infusion of stable 10B and then neutron radiation with a suitable intens...
