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...

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases in women. After tumor mass surgery, radiation therapy regularly taken into account gold standard for treatment. Kilo to Mega voltage photons have been suggested due their characteristic depth dose build-up regime, reducing breast skin a fraction maximum exposure. During treatment, mean glandular commonly used as criterion identifying ri...

background: annual patient effective dose equivalent can be considered as a quantitative physical parameter describing the activities performed in each nuclear medicine department. annual staff dose equivalent could be also considered as a parameter describing the amount of radiation risk for performing the activities. we calculated the staff to patient dose equivalent ratio to be used as a phy...

We present a dual-diode, InGaAsP/InP quantum-well modulator that incorporates a monolithically-integrated, InGaAs photodiode as a part of its on-chip, InP optoelectronic circuit. We theoretically show that such a dual-diode modulator allows for wavelength conversion with 10-dB RF-extinction ratio using 7 mW absorbed optical power at 10 Gb/s. We experimentally demonstrate unlimited wavelength co...
