Long term effects of Gamma knife Radiosurgery for treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
Abstract Background: The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) is an established management option for Cerebral Ar-teriovenous Malformations (AVMS). Therapeutic benefits of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations are complete obliteration of nidus with minimal neurological deficit. Methods: Radiosurgery was performed between February 2003 and April 2010 at Kamraniye day clinic, Teh-ran, Iran, us...
متن کاملGammaPlan-Leksell Gamma Knife radiosurgery treatment planning verification method.
This work provides a method for an independent check of Gamma Knife GammaPlan radiosurgery calculations, named the spherical approximation method or SAM. Based on skull dimension measurements, the treated volume of the head is modeled as a sphere of radius R. With this approximation, an analytical solution for fast ray tracing of the path length, for each of the 201 beamlets, of the Gamma Knife...
متن کاملLevel of exposure to X-Ray in security gates of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini airport
X-Ray is an ionizing electromagnetic radiation with a wide spectrum. A setting where this radiation is widely used is airport security units. This study was conducted to measure the level of momentary exposure to X-Ray in operators and personnel working in security gates of Imam Khomeini airport. In this cross-sectional study, the X-Ray machines used in security gates of Imam Khomeini airport a...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effects of Inhomogeneities on Dose Profiles Using Polymer Gel Dosimeter and Monte Carlo Simulation in Gamma Knife
Introduction Polymer gel dosimeters offer a practical solution to 3D dose verification for conventional radiotherapy as well as intensity-modulated and stereotactic radiotherapy. In this study, EGSnrc calculated and PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter measured dose profiles from single shot irradiation with 18 mm collimator of Gamma Knife in homogeneous and inhomogeneous phantoms were compared with eac...
متن کاملOptimization of measurement counting time in Gamma-ray spectrometry of soil samples
The method of optimal measurement counting time in Gamma spectrometry for soil samples was studied. Gamma spectrometry was done based on minimum detectable activity using the HPGe- p type with efficiency of 30% and FWHM 1.7keV (for 1.33 MeV 60Co). The samples were IAEA-RG Th-1, IAEA-RGU-1 and IAEA-RGK-1 prepared in bottles. The measurements were done for 12 different counting times from 5 min t...
