Technical Note: Monte Carlo calculations of the AAPM TG‐43 brachytherapy dosimetry parameters for a new titanium‐encapsulated Yb‐169 source
Due to a number of distinct advantages resulting from the relatively low energy gamma ray spectrum of Yb-169, various designs of Yb-169 sources have been developed over the years for brachytherapy applications. Lately, Yb-169 has also been suggested as an effective and practical radioisotope option for a novel radiation treatment approach often known as gold nanoparticle-aided radiation therapy...
متن کاملConsider potential of gold nanoparticles with proton therapy compared with KV and MEV X-ray therapy.
Introduction: Many study shown the effectiveness dose enhancement with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), especially with low-energy x-rays. Recently, proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) has attention as a treatment for tumors. The advantage in PBRT, which releases high dose at the controllable Bragg peak position that localized for Au target and the released dose increased in depth....
متن کاملHard X-ray nanofocusing at low-emittance synchrotron radiation sources
X-ray scanning microscopy relies on intensive nanobeams generated by imaging a highly brilliant synchrotron radiation source onto the sample with a nanofocusing X-ray optic. Here, using a Gaussian model for the central cone of an undulator source, the nanobeam generated by refractive X-ray lenses is modeled in terms of size, flux and coherence. The beam properties are expressed in terms of the ...
