چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Brachytherapy, especially using manually after loaded Iridium-192 and Cobalt-60, can be applied as a sole treatment, as a treatment complementary to surgery, and as a local boost in combination with EBRT. The use of HDR brachytherapy catheters incorporated in removable dental molds allows repeated, highly reproducible, fractionated outpatient brachytherapy of superficial tumors without requiring repeated catheter insertion into the tumor. One of the important use of molds is controlling hyper dose sleeves. Some suitable sites for mould therapy include the scalp, lip, buccal mucosa and hard palate. In this study, we are going to dosimetry this lips mould with TLD-100 and comparing with Plexiglass exclusive phantom results. Materials and Methods: This study has done for an early stage lip squamous cell carcinoma with mold and an exclusive lips phantom that were definitively done with using HDR brachytherapy. A customized mold was fabricated for a patient with lips superficial tumor and TLD-100 were located in the surface of mold and phantom, in which 3-4 after loading catheters were placed for passing the Iridium and Cobalt sources. Results: The results show that we have difference about 2 percent between dose calculation for mold and phantom for Iridium and about 1.5 percent for Cobalt. Conclusion: HDR brachytherapy using the mold technique as definitive treatment or for boosting the dose after radiotherapy, is a safe and excellent method for selected early and superficial lip cancers.

Comparison of 60Co and 192Ir sources in HDR brachytherapy
This paper compares the isotopes (60)Co and (192)Ir as radiation sources for high-dose-rate (HDR) afterloading brachytherapy. The smaller size of (192)Ir sources made it the preferred radionuclide for temporary brachytherapy treatments. Recently also (60)Co sources have been made available with identical geometrical dimensions. This paper compares the characteristics of both nuclides in differe...

BACKGROUND The high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy might be an effective tool for palliation of dysphagia. Because of some concerns about adverse effects due to absorbed radiation dose, it is important to estimate absorbed dose in risky organs during this treatment. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to measure the absorbed dose in the parotid, thyroid, and submandibular gland, eye, trachea, spinal c...

متن کاملAbsolute depth-dose-rate measurements for an 192Ir HDR brachytherapy source in water using MOSFET detectors.
Reported MOSFET measurements concern mostly external radiotherapy and in vivo dosimetry. In this paper, we apply the technique for absolute dosimetry in the context of HDR brachytherapy using an 192Ir source. Measured radial dose rate distributions in water for different planes perpendicular to the source axis are presented and special attention is paid to the calibration of the R and K type de...

متن کاملVerification of the Accuracy of the Delivered Dose in Brain Tumors by in Vivo Dosimetry Using Diode Detectors
Introduction: During radiotherapy, high accuracy in the dose delivery is required because there is a strong relationship between the absorbed dose, local tumor control and particularly the normal tissue damage. In many institutions, in vivo dosimetry using diodes is performed to check the actual dose delivered. In general, the uncertainty in the dose delivered should fall within ± 5% of the...
