Shielding studies on a total-body neutron activation facility
Background: Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. Also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252Cf and 241Am-Be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...

full textNeutron dosimetry
R É S U M É En dosimétrie des neutrons, les situations pratiques rencontrées couvrent un large domaine d'énergie s'étendant sur plus de 10 décades. En outre, les grandeurs dosimétriques utilisées en radioprotection ne sont pas directement accessibles à la mesure. Ce dernier point est principalement dû à la variation de la "qualité" du rayonnement neutronique, exprimé au moyen des facteurs de po...
full textAn investigation into the potential applicability of gel dosimeters for dosimetry in boron neutron capture therapy
Background: The aim of this work was to establish how well gel dosimeters performed, as substitutes for brain tissue compared with standard phantom materials such as water, polymethyl-methacrylate (or PMMA), A150 plastic and TE- liquid phantom material for dosimetry of neutron beams in boron neutron capture therapy. Materials and Methods: Thermal neutron fluence, photon dose and epithermal neu...
full textFast Neutron Dose Mapping in a Linac Radiotherapy Facility
CR-39 plastic detectors were used for fast neutron dose mapping in the radiotherapy facility at King AbdulAziz University Hospital (KAUH). Detectors were calibrated using a Cf neutron source and a neutron dosimeter. After exposure chemical etching was performed using 6N NaOH solution at 70 C. Tracks were counted using an optical microscope and the number of tracks/cm was converted to a neutron ...
full textReference Dosimetry for Fast Neutron and Proton Therapy
Fast neutrons and protons undergo fundamentally different interactions in tissue. The former interact with nuclei, while the latter, as in the case of photons, interact mainly with atomic electrons. Protons do, however, also undergo some nuclear interactions, the probability of which increases with energy. For both modalities the practical instruments for determining the reference absorbed dose...
