[ 1 ] - Application of Dose-Area Product compared with three other dosimetric quantities used to estimate patient effective dose in diagnostic radiology
Background: Application of Dose-area product (DAP) quantity has been increased in the clinical practice. DAP is relatively easy to measure. DAP has been shown to correlate well with the total energy imparted to the patient, which is related to the effective dose. Material and Methods: In this study, measurements of DAP were carried out in a sample of 421 adult patients who underwent convention...
[ 2 ] - Organ and effective dose arising from conventional diagnostic X-ray examinations by Monte Carlo simulation (MCNP-4C Code)
ABSTRACTBackground: Monte Carlo simulation has been used by many researchers to calculate organ and effective dose of patients arising from conventional X-ray examinations. In this study the radiation transport code, MCNP-4C, has been used to perform Monte Carlo simulations to estimate radiation dose delivered to different organs in conventional X-ray examinations.Material and Methods: In this...
[ 3 ] - Development of a prototype stereotactic collimation assembly for Neptun 10 PC linac
Background: A set of hardware stereotactic radiosurgery is designed and constructed. The scope of this article is to describe how we have designed and developed stereotactic collimation assembly for a 9 MV Neptun 10 PC linac. Materials and methods: One collimator holder and six collimators were made, with their radiation field diameter between 12.5 mm to 25 mm at isocenter level. Beam data, suc...
[ 4 ] - Measurement of stereotactic beam data of 9 MV X-rays using diode detector
Background: Radiosurgery is a focal brain irradiation technique that delivers, usually in a single session, high dose of ionizing radiation. The presence of lateral electronic disequilibrium and steep dose gradients in small fields demands special attention to the selection of a suitable detector with respect to its size, composition and response. Materials and Methods : Small circular fields w...
