SU-E-T-509: Validation of the Use of OSLD for Carbon Beam Remote Dosimetry.

Preliminary Study in In Vivo CT Dosimetry Using Optically Stimulated Luminescence Detector (OSLD)

Optically stimulated luminescence nanoDot dosimeters (OSLD) have been used to measure single point dose distribution along the superior-inferior position at the surface (skin) and in depths, analogous to organ depths. A customized acrylic phantom of 46 cm length, 20 cm diameter was fabricated, and used for the experimental measurements using CT (Computed Tomography) beam. The CT dose profile al...

Effect of Land Use on the Carbon Stock and Soil Quality Attributes in Loess Derived Soils in Agh-Su Watershed, Golestan Province, Iran

Evaluation of a fast method of EPID-based dosimetry for IMRT and Comparison with 3D EPID-based dosimetry system using conventional two- and three-dimensional detectors for VMAT

Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) could potentially be useful for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and VMAT QA. The data density, high resolution, large active area, and efficiency of the MV EPID make it an attractive option. However, EPIDs were designed as imaging devices, not dosimeters, and as a result they do not inherently measure dose in ...

Protons & Carbon Therapy

Monte Carlo water-equivalence study of two PRESAGE® formulations for proton beam dosimetry T Gorjiara, Z Kuncic, J Adamovics and C Baldock 2013 J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 444 012090 PRESAGE® is a radiochromic solid dosimeter which shows promising potential for 3D proton beam dosimetry. Since an idea dosimeter should be water-equivalent, total depth dose distributions in two PRESAGE® formulations irra...

Evaluation of dose distribution of 12C ion beam in radiotherapy by FLUKA as a Monte Carlo simulation Code

Introduction: Nowadays, the use of heavy ion beams in cancer therapy have been developed worldwide.   Materials and Methods: It requires accurate understanding of the complex processes of ion interaction with matter, as it is the calculation the relative dose & range of these ions in matter. In the present study we used FLUKA as a numerical Monte Carlo simula...
