In this paper, a novel concept for phantom of the prostate is introduced. To study and improve automated, robotized medical interventions, reliable phantoms are essential. During brachytherapy biopsy, will undergo displacements changes in orientation due to needle insertion. Therefore, there shift target regions radioactive seed deposition or biopsy acquisition. These shifts need be taken into ...

The Technical Report Series 398 (TRS-398), Electron Dosimetry Working Party (EWDP), and Task Group 51 (TG 51) are the most important protocols for reference dosimetry. In case of electron beam dosimetry, these recommend using parallel-plate ionization chambers beams with R50 values below specific thresholds. However, recent papers suggested cylindrical dosimetry all energies. Here we compared d...

The measurement of dose distributions in clinical brachytherapy, for the purpose of quality control, commissioning or dosimetric audit, is challenging and requires development. Radiochromic film dosimetry with a commercial flatbed scanner may be suitable, but careful methodologies are required to control various sources of uncertainty. Triple-channel dosimetry has recently been utilized in exte...

Background: Some tissues in human body are radiobiologically different from water and these inhomogeneity must be considered in dose calculation in order to achieve an accurate dose delivery. Dose verification in complex radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) calls for volumetric, tissue equivalent and energy independent dosimeter. The purpose of this...

Techniques for high precision irradiation experiments with protons, to investigate the volume dependence of the tolerance dose of the rat cervical spinal cord are described. In the present study, 50% of the lateral cross section of the spinal cord was irradiated. The diameter of the cross section of this part of the rat spinal cord is at maximum 3.5 mm. Therefore, a dedicated procedure was deve...

In spite of considerable progress, much remains to be done in the estimation of absorbed doses to organs and tissues in the body and in the prediction of biological effects from radiopharmaceuticals. In patients undergoing diagnostic procedures, the biokinetics of the radionuclide has to be determined for a number of representative patients. When radiopharmaceuticals are used for therapy, it is...

The paper is devoted to review of development and application of EPR dosimetry with teeth in Ukraine. It deals with specific features of the EPR dosimetry protocol, which was developed and is practically used in SCRM for retrospective dosimetry of clean-up workers (liquidators). Extensive methodological research was conducted in SCRM in order to develop an original version of EPR dosimetric pro...
