چکیده
The dosimetric human respiratory tract model given in ICRP Publication 66 and ICRP Vol. 32 is briefly described in this paper. The associated home-written computer programs for calculations of radiation dose from radon and its short-lived progeny are presented, together with some representative results.

Background and purpose: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. In radiation therapy for breast cancer it is important to prevent damage to normal tissues particularly to lung tissue. In this study, we investigated the incidence of damage in patients with breast cancer by clinical and dosimetric parameters to identify the predictive factors. Materials and methods: An exp...
متن کاملEvaluation of Lung Density and Its Dosimetric Impact on Lung Cancer Radiotherapy: A Simulation Study
Background: The dosimetric parameters required in lung cancer radiation therapy are taken from a homogeneous water phantom; however, during treatment, the expected results are being affected because of its inhomogeneity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to quantify these deviations.Objective: The present study has been undertaken to find out inter- and intra- lung density variations and its dosi...
متن کاملEstimation of dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 using GATE8.1 code
Brachytherapy is one type of internal radiation therapy where radiation sources, which are usually encapsulated are placed as close as possible to the tumor site inside the patient's body. In this technique, it is important to determine dose distribution around the brachytherapy capsule. Hereby, in this paper, dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 are estimated accordin...
متن کاملPredicting Survival of Patients with Lung Cancer Using Improved Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System
Introduction: Lung cancer is the main cause of mortality in both genders worldwide. This disease is caused by the uncontrollable growth and development of cells in both or one of the lungs. Although the early diagnosis of this cancer is not an easy task, the earlier it is diagnosed, the higher will be the chance of treating. The objective of this study was to develop an optimized prediction mod...
متن کاملDetermination of TG-43 Dosimetric Parameters for Photon Emitting Brachytherapy Sources
Objective: Brachytherapy sources are widely used for the treatment of cancer. The report of Task Group No. 43 (TG-43) of American Association of Physicists in Medicine is known as the most common method for the determination of dosimetric parameters for brachytherapy sources. The aim of this study is to obtain TG-43 dosimetric parameters for 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 103Pd brachyt...
