[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy Techniques in Outfield Organs of Rando Phantom with Thermoluminescence Dosimeter
Background: Given the importance of scattered and low doses in secondary cancer caused by radiation treatment, the point dose of critical organs, which were not subjected to radiation treatment in breast cancer radiotherapy, was measured.Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the peripheral dose in two techniques of breast cancer radiotherapy with two energies. Methods: Eight diff...
[ 2 ] - Assessment of Neutron Contamination Originating from the Presence of Wedge and Block in Photon Beam Radiotherapy
Background: One of the main causes of induction of secondary cancer in radiation therapy is neutron contamination received by patients during treatment.Objective: In the present study the impact of wedge and block on neutron contamination production is investigated. The evaluations are conducted for a 15 MV Siemens Primus linear accelerator. Methods: Simulations were performed using MCNPX Monte...
[ 3 ] - Measurement of Thyroid Dose by TLD arising from Radiotherapy of Breast Cancer Patients from Supraclavicular Field
Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading global cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Radiotherapy plays a significant role in treatment of breast cancer and reduces locoregional recurrence and eventually improves survival. The treatment fields applied for breast cancer treatment include: tangential, axillary, supraclavicular and internal mammary ...
[ 4 ] - Comparison of EBT and EBT3 RadioChromic Film Usage in Parotid Cancer Radiotherapy
Background: EBT and EBT3 radioChromic films have been used in radiotherapy dosimetry for years.Objective: The aim of the current study is to compare EBT and EBT3 radioChromic films in dosimetry of radiotherapy fields for treatment of parotid cancer.Methods: Calibrations of EBT and EBT3 films were performed with identical setups using a 6 MV photon beam of a Siemens Primus linac. Skin dose was m...
