We are developing an innovative dynamic tumor tracking irradiation technique using gold markers implanted around a tumor as a surrogate signal, a real-time marker detection system, and a gimbaled X-ray head in the Vero4DRT. The gold markers implanted in a normal organ will produce uncertainty in the dose calculation during treatment planning because the photon mass attenuation coefficient of a ...
Introduction: Accuboost is a HDR brachytherapy system in early stages breast cancer treatment. This device provides a completely noninvasive procedure with parallel-opposed radiation from two immobilizing peripheral applicators that caused it a preferred option of modalities to choose. In most commercial treatment planning systems, tissues are considered as a simple water phan...
Introduction: Long-term teletherapy program is not suitable for old and working patients and those living in areas where little access to primary health care is available. Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is an appropriate alternative for these patients due to its limited number of fractions. The AccuBoost is a system for delivering APBI. Th...
PURPOSE Research and development of various accelerator-based irradiation systems for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is underway throughout the world. Many of these systems are nearing or have started clinical trials. Before the start of treatment with BNCT, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for the fast neutrons (over 10 keV) incident to the irradiation field must be estimated....
The water equivalency of five "water-equivalent" solid phantom materials was evaluated in terms of output calibration and energy characterization over a range of energies for both photon (Co-60 to 24 MV) and electron (6-20 MeV) beams. Evaluations compared absorbed doses calculated from ionization measurements using the same dosimeter in the solid phantom materials and in natural water (H2O). Io...
In this study, we have fabricated a scintillating fiberoptic dosimeter (SFOD) for a Co-60 radiotherapy dosimetry. The γrays generated from a Co-60 machine are measured using a SFOD and percent depth dose (PDD) curves are obtained according to the different depths of water phantom. Also, Cerenkov lights generated by the interactions of primary or secondary electrons and a plastic optical fiber a...
This study evaluated the effective dose of Ga-67 for a patient undergoing Ga-67 citrate nuclear examination by applying thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) technique and an indigenous water phantom. The Ga-67 radionuclide remaining in the body inevitably generated a measurable internal dose even though gamma camera scanning took only minutes to complete the clinical examination. For effective sim...
In the present paper, we estimated backscattering factors for the TLD and active personal dosimeters using 662 keV gamma-ray photons on a PMMA surface, which are, for the TLD, 1.12; Dosicard, 1.116; DRD, 0.99; and Saphydose, 1.073, and on a water slab phantom surface; for the TLD, 1.115; Dosicard, 1.112; DRD, 1; and Saphydose, 1.059. The backscattering factor contribution for the Saphydose is n...
The present study quantified surface doses on several rectangular phantom setups and on curved surface phantoms for a 6 MV photon field using the Attix parallel-plate chamber and Gafchromic EBT2 film. For the rectangular phantom setups, the surface doses on a homogenous water equivalent phantom and a water equivalent phantom with 60 mm thick lung equivalent material were measured. The measureme...
Introduction: Brachytherapy is one type of internal radiation therapy where radiation sources, which are usually encapsulated, are placed as close as possible to the tumor site or inside the patient's body. In this technique, it is important to determine dose distribution around the brachytherapy capsule to create optimal treatment plant. In this way, dosimetric parameters are...
