متن کاملA comparative study of two reconstructive methods and different recommendations in intracavitary brachytherapy
PURPOSE Intracavitary brachytherapy (ICB) is a widely used technique in the treatment of cervical cancer. In our Institute, we use different reconstructive methods in the conventional planning procedure. The main aim of this study was to compare these methods using critical organ doses obtained in various treatment plans. There is a small difference in the recommendations in selecting bladder d...
متن کاملQuantification of radionuclide transfer in terrestrial and freshwater environments.
The paper gives an overveiew of radioecological concepts, reference information on plants and soils used in the project. Main classification schemes applied to summarize the data on radionuclide transfer to plants are also described. Generic quantities and units used in the current document are also given. They are mainly defined according to the the ICRU 65 report. 1. DEFINITIONS, QUANTITIES A...
متن کاملDosimetric Concepts and Calibration of Instruments
The development of dosimetric concepts and the definition of specific quantities for use in radiation protection has a long history. An important basis for the present concepts was already provided in the 60’s and 70’s by both the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU). In 1991 in its Publication 60 ...
