Dosimetry, scattering theory, and Monte Carlo simulation
The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the physics of scattering theory, to define the dosimetric concept of linear energy transfer in terms of scattering theory, and to provide an introduction to the concepts underlying Monte Carlo simulations.
متن کاملThorax organ dose estimation in computed tomography based on patient CT data using Monte Carlo simulation
Background: This study presents patient specific and organ dose estimation in computed tomography (CT) imaging of thorax directly from patient CT image using Monte Carlo simulation. Patient's CT image is considered as the patient specific phantom and the best representative of patient physical index in order to calculate specific organ dose. Materials and Methods: EGSnrc /BEAMnr...
متن کاملLu - DOTMP , 153 Sm - DOTMP , 175 Yb - EDTMP and 186 / 188 Re - CTMP : Novel Agents for Bone Pain Palliation and Their Comparison with 153 Sm - EDTMP
Designing ideal radiopharmaceuticals for use as bone pain palliatives require the use of a moderate energy β emitter with a stable carrier molecule. Cyclic polyaminophosphonate ligands are known to form complexes with higher thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness. The present study therefore envisages the use of a few moderate energy β emitters, viz. Lu (T1/2 = 6.71 d, Eβmax= 497 keV), S...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...
متن کاملSmall photon field dosimetry using EBT2 Gafchromic film and Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy especially in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments. Accurate beam profile and central axis depth doses measurements of such beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium. Hence the EBT2 (external beam therapy) Gafchromic film was used for dosimetry of sm...
