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...
متن کاملEvaluation of cellular S-value of auger electrons emitting 111In radionuclide by Geant4 and its comparison with MCNP5 Monte Carlo codes and MIRD published data
Introduction: Now day Ionizing radiation has found increasing applications in cancer treatment. However, in the treatment different kinds and size of tumors especially metastatic and small size tumors, conventional methods of external radiation therapy are not common. In radionuclide therapy, the use of monoclonal antibodies has made it possible to achieve maximum dose to small size tumor and m...
متن کاملValidation of GEANT4 Monte Carlo Models with a Highly Granular Scintillator-Steel Hadron Calorimeter The CALICE Collaboration
Calorimeters with a high granularity are a fundamental requirement of the Particle Flow paradigm. This paper focuses on the prototype of a hadron calorimeter with analog readout, consisting of thirty-eight scintillator layers alternating with steel absorber planes. The scintillator plates are finely segmented into tiles individually read out via Silicon Photomultipliers. The presented results a...
