[ 1 ] - Radiation-induced Hypothyroidism in Head and Neck Malignancy
Background and Objective: Hypothyroidism is a known consequence of the external beam radiotherapy to the neck encompassing the thyroid gland for over 40 years. The aim of this study was to find out the incidence of hypothyroidism in patients with head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy, when radia...
[ 2 ] - بررسی و اندازهگیری دز پرتوهای نوترون ثانویه در پرتودرمانی با اشعۀ ایکس پرانرژی در بیمارستان آیتالله خوانساری اراک
Medical linear accelerators (linacs) are used efficiently in radiation therapy for tumor treatments. In these devices interaction of high energy photons (greater than 7 MeV) with the target, flattening filters, collimators and even body and patients bed produce secondary particles such as neutrons(photo-neutron production). The purpose of this study is measuring the neutrons dose produced in me...
[ 3 ] - محاسبه میزان دز پرتوهای ترمزی ناشی از الکترون ها در پرتو درمانی با الکترون در بیمارستان آیت ا...خوانساری اراک
During the radiation therapy with electron beam, due to electron interaction and scattering from structures of the head of the medical linear accelerator, unwanted photons are produced. The main contribution of the photon contamination is resulted from the various components of the medical linear accelerator on the way of the high energy electron beam, and few percent is due to the interaction ...
[ 4 ] - Innovation of a method to decrease interruption time during treatment of pelvic area carcinomas
Background: The presence of small intestine in the radiation field during pelvic cancers treatment causes an interruption in radiotherapy. A non-invasive method was developed to exclude small intestine during conventional radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The incidence of the radiation therapy interruption is highly dependent upon the area of the small intestine included in the portals and i...
