[ 1 ] - The Effect of Scattering from Leg Region on Organ Doses in Prostate Brachytherapy for 103Pd, 125I and 131Cs Seeds

Introduction Dose calculation of tumor and surrounding tissues is essential during prostate brachytherapy. Three radioisotopes, namely, 125I, 103Pd, and 131Cs, are extensively used in this method. In this study, we aimed to calculate the received doses by the prostate and critical organs using the aforementioned radioactive seeds and to investigate the effect of scattering contribution for the ...

[ 2 ] - محاسبه ضریب تضعیف جرمی چوب ریزوفورا به عنوان ماده معادل بافت با کمک کد MCNPX

Rhizophora wood exhibits characteristics of interaction with radiation similar to those of water. Recently, a novel model based on MCNP4C code has been proposed for calculation of mass attenuation coefficients for some polymers. The aim of this study is to determine the mass attenuation coefficients for Rhizophora wood in energy range 15.77-60 keV using this model. First, the mentioned model wa...

[ 3 ] - تخمین دز پروستات و اندام های مجاور آن در حین براکی تراپی پروستات و بررسی پراکندگی بر میزان دز با استفاده از کد MCNP4C

In regard with increasing use of brachytherapy for treatment of cancer, especially prostate cancer, dosimetry of the organs surrounding prostate is necessary. The received dose by prostate is relatively high and the healthy organs surrounding prostate are potentially at a risk of high dose too. In this paper, the doses delivered to the prostate and organs of interest were calculated by MCNP4C c...
