The detailed China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) 22.5° computer aided design (CAD) model is very difficult to convert into Monte Carlo N Particle Transport Code (MCNP). Manually writing MCNP input data complicated, which not only time-consuming but also cannot guarantee accuracy. Therefore, in order improve the efficiency and accuracy of transformation, modeling with CAD using CATIA i...

background: stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. a dosimetry study was performed for elekta ‘synergy s ’ as a dedicated stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the beam/egs4...

The use of germanium detectors for the identification and quantification of radionuclides in unknown and non-standard counting geometries has increased in the recent past with the need to clean up and verify sites used for radionuclide processing, smuggling detection and other purposes. The calculation of the amount of radionuclide present requires a knowledge of the efficiency of the detector ...

Neutron detection time distribution is an important factor for the dead-time correction for moderator type neutron detectors used in pulsed radiation fields. Measurements of the neutron detection time distributions of multisphere LiI detectors (2Ó, 3Ó, 5Ó, 8Ó, 10Ó and 12Ó in diameter) and AB remmeter were made inside a ANL 20-MeV electron Linac room. Calculations of the neutron detection time d...

Accuracy of treatment planning systems may significantly influence the efficacy of brachytherapy. The purpose of this work is a detailed, varied and independent evaluation of an in-house brachytherapy treatment planning software called STPS. Operational accuracy of STPS was investigated. Geometric tests were performed to validate entry and reconstruction of positional information from scanned o...

Introduction: Because of importance of impact of the Source to Surface Distance (SSD) in determining of monitor unit for electron-therapy, it is essential to know the Virtual Source Position (VSP) for electron beam for a linear therapeutic accelerator for each energy and field size. , especially using the Khan method (photo distance squared method) And compare the results with...

Anthropometric and anthropomorphic phantoms have been used extensively for characterizing in-vivo measurement systems that determines internally deposited radionuclides. The accuracy in activity determination relies critically on system design, calibration routine, and reproducbility in material composition, geometry configuration, and physical dimensions of the phantoms respect to the actual o...
