Abstract Strontium 90 (Sr-90) has been commonly used in the radiation treatment of pterygia eye. A radioactive plaque is placed an applicator onto surface eyeball for a specific length time to achieve desired dose. Dose usually calculated using source activity and decay, as well distance from it However, this assumes flat eye surface. This investigation 3D printing produce anthropomorphic phant...

background: this study assessed the clinical usefulness of the solid phantom, which may compensate for the disadvantages of the water phantom, by comparing the radiological doses between the two depending on their depths. materials and methods: the experimental equipment used was a linear accelerator for medical use, water phantom, solid phantom, farmer type ion chamber and electrometer. the di...

PURPOSE To investigate the sensitivity of traditional gamma-index-based analysis using diode arrays to detect significant dosimetric errors in patientspecific measurements for VMAT brain SRT plans. METHODS Quality assurance measurements were performed using an ion chamber and two different diode array devices for four brain SRT treatment plans. All cases were planned with Eclipse AAA RapidArc...

Background: Prediction of the absorbed dose in irradiated volume plays an important role in the outcome of radiotherapy. Application of small fields for radiotherapy of thorax makes the dose calculation process inaccurate due to the existence of electronic disequilibrium and intrinsic deficiencies in dose calculation algorithms. To study the lung absorbed dose in radiotherapy with smal...

It is possible to obtain a quality assurance (QA) of the dosimetry within a short time by using the new mathematical tools for a water phantom where dose measurements were made at two points only for a few square field sizes of the linear accelerator beam. The human body is not homogeneous. Water phantom makes it possible to create inhomogeneous phantoms by introducing blocks within it at suita...

Ionization chambers are frequently moved from one environment to another, sometimes with significant differences in temperature between the chamber and measurement phantom. To obtain reliable ionization data, the temperature of the air in the chamber must be allowed to equilibrate with the measuring phantom. The air temperature inside a thimble of a Farmer-type ion chamber was measured as a fun...
