چکیده
The phosphate glass samples doped with Tb2O3 oxide (general formula: P2O5-Al2O3-Na2O-Tb2O3) were synthesized and studied for usage in high-dose radiation dosimetry (for example, high-activity nuclear waste disposals). influence of terbium concentration on thermoluminescent (TL) signals was analyzed. TL properties glasses investigated using various experimental techniques such as direct measurements response vs. dose, Tmax–Tstop VHR (various heating rate) methods, glow curve deconvolution analysis. thermoluminescence (TLD) technique used the main investigation tool to study detectors’ dose responses. It has been proved that increasing matrices significantly increases yield examined material. For highest range (up 35 kGy), dependence integrated can be considered a saturation-type curve. Additional preheating improves linearity signal dependencies leads decrease loss over time. All obtained data suggest material dosimetry. advantages dosimetric system are its potential ability re-use same dosimeters multiple times fact reading only requires basic reader without any modifications.

Abstract Background: Adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-Y fields for the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. In each of these situations, there is a p...
متن کاملImage Optimization and reduction of radiation dose in CT of the paranasal sinuses
Introduction: Since demand for computed tomography (CT) examinations is growing, patients are exposed more frequently to ionizing radiation. To reduce the dose delivered to patients in each scan, CT technologists can change the image acquisition parameters. However, this reduces image quality. Present study aimed to optimize and reduce radiation dose in a CT of the paranasal si...
متن کاملRadiation dose of caregivers could be reduced in thyroid carcinoma patients requiring high dose of radioactive iodine: A case report
Undesired radiation exposure to caregivers is an important problem in radioiodine therapy in thyroid carcinoma patients, especially when patient is non-ambulatory. Special precautions are needed to keep the exposure to caregivers low when higher dose of radioiodine is necessary. Here we present a case-report of a 74-year old male patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma with local invasion and...
