Abstract:

Large quantities of radiopharmaceuticals prescribed for treatment and diagnosis are excreted through kidney. Therefore, radiation unwanted dose is created in kidney. As a result, exact calculation of prescribed radiopharmaceuticals amount is important. Monte Carlo method is used for simulation of radiation transport in body due to random nature of radiation. In this research, for the first time kidney is considered integrated and for the second time it is considered that it has three areas; beta absorbed dose is calculated and compared in cortex and medulla kidney using MCNPX code to identify a more accurate way to prescribe radioisotope. The results showed that beta absorbed dose in medulla is 4 times as much as dose in integrated kidney and beta dose in cortex is 0.004 to 0.012 times as much as dose in integrated kidney. Internal structure of kidney should be considered in simulation to achieve a more accurate prescribed dose

Monte Carlo Dose Calculation of 90 Sr/ 90 Y Source in Water Phantom

Introduction:  90 Sr/ 90 Y source  has  been  used  for  the  intravascular  brachytherapy  to  prevent  coronary  restenosis in the patients who have undergone angioplasty. The aim of this research is to determine the  dose distribution of  90 Sr/ 90 Y source in a water phantom.  Materials  and  Methods:  In  the  present  work,  MCNP  code  has  been  applied  to  calculate  the  dose  distri...
