Effect of Tissue Composition on Dose Distribution in Electron Beam Radiotherapy
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of tissue composition on dose distribution in electron beam radiotherapy.Methods: A Siemens Primus linear accelerator and a phantom were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. In a homogeneous cylindrical phantom, six types of soft tissue and three types of tissue-equivalent materials were investigated. The tissues included muscle (ske...
متن کامل10B Concentration, Phantom Size and Tumor Location Dependent Dose Enhancement and Neutron Spectra in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Background: The amount of average dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B may vary due to various factors in boron neutron capture therapy.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B under influence of various factors and investigate the dependence of this dose enhancement on neutron spectra changes.Material and Methods: In this simulation stud...
متن کاملEffect of diameter of nanoparticles and capture cross-section library on macroscopic dose enhancement in boron neutron capture therapy
PURPOSE The aim of this study is evaluation of the effect of diameter of (10)B nanoparticles and various neutron capture cross-section libraries on macroscopic dose enhancement in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS MCNPX Monte Carlo code was used for simulation of a (252)Cf source, a soft tissue phantom and a tumor containing (10)B nanoparticles. Using (252)Cf as a neu...

متن کاملBoron Neutron Capture Therapy
A project aimed at the development of an accelerator facility devoted to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is ongoing at the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina [1]. In a first stage of development, the accelerator will be capable of delivering proton or deuteron beams of 30 mA at about 1.4 MeV which is suitable for neutron production through the 9Be(d,n) reaction. In this context...
