Software for modelling by Monte Carlo (MC) method the dosimetric devices such as dosimetric wedge (ModeDW) and stack (ModeStEB) irradiated with scanned electron beam on moving conveyer was developed by authors. Integration of computer modelling of a dose distribution in films located in a wedge and stack made of arbitrary materials expands the procedure opportunities of the dosimetric devices i...

background: accurate small radiation field dosimetry is essential in modern radiotherapy techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery (srs) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt). precise measurement of dosimetric parameters such as beam profile, percentage depth doses and output factor of these beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium and the steep dose gradients. in the p...

abstract background: accurate methods of radiation therapy dose calculation. there are different monte carlo codesfor simulation of photons, electrons and the coupled transport of electrons and photons. mcnpis a general purpose monte carlo code that can be used for electron, photon and coupledphoton-electron transport.monte carlo simulation of radiation transport is considered to be one of the ...

Introduction: Monte Carlo calculation method is considered to be the most accurate method for dose calculation in radiotherapy. The purpose of this research is comparison between 6 MV Primus LINAC simulation output with commissioning data using EGSnrc and build a Monte Carlo geometry of 6 MV Primus LINAC as realistically as possible. The BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc (EGSnrc package) M...

we compare two approaches for a markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (fmss) using monte carlo simulation. the model which is a development of fazlollahtabar and saidi-mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (agv) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of agvs in a multiple agv jobsho...

introduction: the use of low energy isotopes such as  103 pd in brachytherapy for the treatment of cancers  such as prostate, eye, head, neck, breast and cervix is increasing. in this regard, different models of pd- 103  seeds  have  been  designed  and  manufactured  at  the  agricultural,  medical  and  industrial  research  school (amirs) of atomic energy organization of iran. in this resear...

The increasing availability of SPECT/CT devices with advanced technology offers the opportunity for the accurate assessment of the radiation dose to the biological target volume during radionuclide therapy. Voxel dosimetry can be performed employing direct Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations, based on both morphological and functional images of the patient. On the other hand, for voxel ...
