Introduction: Cancer is, in essence, a genetic disease and is the second leading cause of death globally. Fortunately, many common types of cancer are treatable if detected early and of course there are many medications and treatments available today. Among the new methods to treat cancer, radiotherapy seems to be hopeful in patients with malignancies. This work investigates th...

introduction: average glandular dose calculation in mammography with mo-rh target-filter and dose calculation for different situations is accurate and fast. material and methods: in this research, first of all, x-ray spectra of a mo target bombarded by a 28 kev electron beam with and without a rh filter were calculated using the mcnp code. then, we used the sobol-wu parameters to write a fortra...

determination of the total body absorbed dose consists of two parts: beta radiation absorbed dose and gamma radiation absorbed dose. the first part is generally determined by clinical data, while the second part has a parameter called absorbed ratio and is determined by computational methods. the monte-carlo computational methods have been shown to be the most suitable in determination of the a...

introduction: radioiodine therapy is an effective method for treating thyroid cancer carcinoma, but it has some affects on normal tissues, hence dosimetry of vital organs are important to weigh the risks and benefits of this method. the aim of this study is to measure the absorbed doses of important organs by mcnp (monte carlo n particle) simulation and comparing the results of different method...

Monte Carlo calculations are frequently used to analyse a variety of radiological science applications using low-energy (10-1000 keV) photon sources. This study seeks to create a low-energy benchmark for the MCNP Monte Carlo code by simulating the absolute dose rate in water and the air-kerma rate for monoenergetic point sources with energies between 10 keV and 1 MeV. The analysis compares four...

Introduction: There are many ways to treat cancer and pain relief. One of the methods is radiopharmaceutical therapy. Indium 111-rituximab contains the radioisotope indium-111 and rituximab. The Indium-111, after decay, emits gamma rays with energies of 245 KeV and 171 KeV, and beta-radiation of 26 KeV. In this study, the absorbed dose of 111In-Rituximab in human body was calcu...

  Determination of the total body absorbed dose consists of two parts: Beta radiation absorbed dose and gamma radiation absorbed dose. The first part is generally determined by clinical data, while the second part has a parameter called absorbed ratio and is determined by computational methods. The Monte-Carlo computational methods have been shown to be the most suita...

Relation to high absorption fraction of Tc sestamibi by kidneys in heart scan and these organs are near to generation organs (Ovaries and uterus). Urinary system (kidneys and urinary bladder) are specified as sources organs. The main object of this study is to determine the absorbed dose in these critical organs. we have set amount of absorbed fraction radiopharmaceutical in position of kidneys...

Introduction: Development of a novel radiopharmaceutical needs assessment of its biological- distribution in animal models, most commonly mice prior to its common application. This study describes the biodistribution and absorbed dose prediction 131I-MIBG in human organs after injection in mice.   Materials and Methods: In this research, 131I-MIBG radiopha...
