Shielding verification and neutron dose evaluation of the Mevion S250 proton therapy unit
For passive scattering proton therapy systems, neutron contamination is the main concern both from an occupational and patient safety perspective. The Mevion S250 compact proton therapy system is the first of its kind, offering an in-room cyclotron design which prompts more concern for shielding assessment. The purpose of this study was to accomplish an in-depth evaluation of both the shielding...
متن کاملTOPAS Simulation of the Mevion S250 compact proton therapy unit
As proton therapy becomes increasingly popular, so does the need for Monte Carlo simulation studies involving accurate beam line modeling of proton treatment units. In this study, the 24 beam configurations of the Mevion S250 proton therapy system installed recently at our institution were modeled using the TOolkit for PArticle Simulation (TOPAS) code. Pristine Bragg peak, spread out Bragg peak...
متن کاملAssessment of The Relation Between Energy Of Primary Protons And Undesired Neutron Dose During Proton Therapy By Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: High-energy beams of protons offer significant advantages for the treatment of deepseated local tumors. Their physical depth-dose distribution in tissue is characterized by a small entrance dose and a distinct maximum -Bragg peak- near the end of range with a sharp fall-off at the distal edge. Alongside its advantages there are some point that they need to meticul...
متن کاملhazard evaluation of gas condensate stabilization and dehydration unit of parsian gas refinery using hazop procedures
شناسایی مخاطرات در واحد 400 پالایشگاه گاز پارسیان. در این پروزه با بکارگیری از تکنیک hazop به شناسا یی مخاطرات ، انحرافات ممکن و در صورت لزوم ارایه راهکارهای مناسب جهت افزایش ایمنی فرا یند پرداخته میگردد. شرایط عملیاتی مخاطره آمیز نظیر فشار و دمای بالا و وجود ترکیبات مختلف سمی و قابل انفجار در واحدهای پالایش گاز، ضرورت توجه به موارد ایمنی در این چنین واحدهایی را مشخص می سازد. مطالعه hazop یک ر...
Calculation of Neutron Dose Ratio of Heart, Lung and Liver due to breast cancer Proton Therapy using MCNPX code
Introduction: The proton beam produced in particle accelerators has an appropriate therapeutic potential. In this research, proton therapy of breast cancer is simulated using the MCNPX code in a MIRD phantom, also the contribution of scattered neutron dose during the proton therapy were calculated for the Heart, Lung and Liver. Materials and Methods: For si...
