Radioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation
Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...

Background & Aim: PET is a very useful and suitable imaging method in nuclear medicine. This method uses positrons with a special energy for imaging. The elements of the lanthanide are suitable for the decay of positrons with a specific energy for use in PET. Praseodymium-139 with a half-life of 4.5 hours is one of the useful elements in the group of lanthanides that can be used in PET. In this...
متن کاملComparison of ScintSim1 and Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation codes for optical photon transport in thick segmented scintillator arrays
Introduction: Arrays of segmented scintillation crystals are useful in megavoltage x-ray imaging detectors for image-guided radiotherapy. Most previous theoretical studies on these detectors have modelled only ionizing-radiation transport. Scintillation light also affects detector performance. ScintSim1, our previously reported optical Monte Carlo code for such detector...
متن کاملSimulation of strand breaks induced in DNA molecule by radiation of proton and Secondary particles using Geant4 code
Radiotherapy using various beams is one of the methods for treating cancer, Hadrons used to treat cancers that are near critical organs. The most important part of the cell that is damage by ionizing radiation is DNA. In this study, damages induced in the genetic material of living cells (DNA) defined by the atomic model from the protein data bank (PDB) have been studied by radiati...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry study of a multicellular model with mono-energetic electrons using Geant4-DNA simulation toolkit
Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...
