objectives this study examined 125i concentrations in the edible parts of five types of plants from different locations on farms with a similar climate. near zahedan, iran. background radioiodine 125i is an environmental contaminant that humans may consume in edible plants. the characteristics of 125i in plants are poorly understood. materials and methods the experiments used a mini-column appr...

ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...

introduction in order to treat uveal melanoma , first, radioactive seeds are laid on a silicone- made substance which is called silastic after that they are inserted in the plaque, and finally, this plaque containing silicone-made substance is stitched to the sclera surface. the dose gradient within the tumor and healthy tissues can be varied due to changing the silastic thickness between scler...

PURPOSE To investigate the dosimetric characteristics of the new GMS BT-125-1 125 I radioactive seed, including dose rate constant, radial dose functions, and anisotropy functions. METHODS Dosimetric parameters of GMS BT-125-1 125 I seed including dose rate constant, radial dose functions, and anisotropy functions were calculated using the Monte Carlo code of MCNP5, and measured with thermolu...
