Background and Aim: Increased mortality rate�due to prostate cancer shows the growth of this disease.Prostate cancer is the second most widespread malignancy after lung cancer in men.It is important to use new methods in the radiation therapy of prostate cancer that are associated with lower exposure of the normal tissues. Nowadays, in most of the radiotherapy centers in our country, the Co-60 ...

In this study, the pure nano-structure hydroxyl apatite samples were synthesized via hydrolysis method. The powder samples were sintered at various temperatures of 500°C, 700°C and 900°C in a furnace. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy systems were used to characterize the synthsized samples. Comparison of the glow curves shows that the most ...

LiF powder having particle size of 50-200 µm doped with Mg, Cu and P impurities was produced using melting method. The whole construction process was conducted in a nitrogen atmosphere. The effect of Cu impurity on the thermoluminescence glow curve was investigated and the appropriate amount of Cu was determined. The TL properties of the fabricated phosphor was compared to commercial LiF:Mg,Cu,...

The dosimetric characteristics of γ-radiation induced defects in strontium sulfate rod dosimeter were investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique focusing on the dose range of 10–15000 Gy. The most significant EPR signals of spectroscopic splitting factor (g-value) g=2.0036 ، g=2.0090 and g=2.0160 were observed and attributed respectively to the SO4¯, SO3&...

ساختگاه سد بهشت آباد در پهنه زاگرس مرتفع حدود 6 کیلومتری جنوب گسل اردل و در 7 کیلومتری شمال گسل دوپلان جای گرفته است. وجود گسل­های بزرگ و جنبا در پهنه زاگرس مرتفع نتیجه فرآیند زمین ساختی برخورد می‌باشد و به دلیل تداوم نیروهای زمین ساختی فشارشی، گسل‌های شکل گرفته در این پهنه، فراوان، جنبا و بیشتر از نوع راندگی و معکوس هستند. محل ساختگاه سد بهشت‌ آباد نیز مستثنی نبوده و به شکستگی‌های ساختاری مختل...

یکی از روش های پرتودرمانی با شدت تعدیل یافته بر پایه استفاده از جبران کننده ها می باشد. مهم ترین عامل در ساخت جبران کننده محاسبه دقیق ضخامت آن به منظور دستیابی به شدت تعدیلی مورد نظر می باشد. به این منظور باید ضریب تضعیف دقیق ماده جبران کننده محاسبه شود. با استفاده از دزیمتر 2 MapCHECK مدل 1177و فانتوم آب جامد 34SP تاثیر ضخامت جبران کننده برنج و اندازه میدان بر محاسبه ضریب تضعیف موثر جبران کنند...

In vivo dosimetry seems an appropriate method for quality assurance in radiotherapy with CO-60, which can be considered as a routine program in radiotherapy centers. In this study, entrance and exit dose in tangential fields were measured in phantom for 30 breast cancer patients by using TLD in radiotherapy section of Imam Khomeini Hospital. TLD crystals were calibrated against SSDL (Secondary...

The thermoluminescence (TL) glow peaks of nanoparticles was simulated by a the Monte Carlo method in which all the ordinary as well as anomalous transitions between the nanoparticle clusters are taken into account. The adjustable parameters are activation energy and frequency factor of the trap, both   radiative and nonradiative recombination, direct recombination from trap to recombi...

Archeology dating of sample obtained from Vigoldistrict (center of Iran) was done using thermoluminecencse (TL) technique. The plateau region was determinedby comparing the TL glow curves of the samples received natural dose and those samples received natural dose plus gamma dosefrom the60Co source. The total equivalent dose of 10.17 Gy was obtained by the use of TL dose response of the samples...
