Comparison of the hypothetical 57 Co brachytherapy source with the 192 Ir source Mohammad
tope has recently been proposed as a hypothetical brachytherapy source due to its high specific activity, appropriate half-life (272 days) and medium energy photons (114.17 keV on average). In this study, Task Group No. 43 dosimetric parameters were calculated and reported for a hypothetical 57Co source. Material and methods: A hypothetical 57Co source was simulated in MCNPX, consisting of an a...
متن کاملA Study on the Dose Distributions in Various Materials from an Ir-192 HDR Brachytherapy Source
Dose distributions of (192)Ir HDR brachytherapy in phantoms simulating water, bone, lung tissue, water-lung and bone-lung interfaces using the Monte Carlo codes EGS4, FLUKA and MCNP4C are reported. Experiments were designed to gather point dose measurements to verify the Monte Carlo results using Gafchromic film, radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter, solid water, bone, and lung phantom. The re...
متن کاملFitting and Benchmarking of Monte Carlo Output Parameters for 192 Ir High Dose Rate Brachytherapy “ New or v 2 ” Source
A robust model to directly represent output from contemporary brachytherapy calculation had been proposed and developed to make clinical implementation practicable. The model was used to minimize inherent uncertainties associated with the AAMP TG-43 formalism, with consolidation of the TG-43 parameters into new parameter to speed up computational time. Analytical computations were performed to ...
متن کاملCalibration of iridium-192 source by ionization chamber for high dose rate brachytherapy
Background: The effectiveness and safety of brachytherapy treatment is mainly concerned with the calibration of sources and their traceability to internationally accepted Standards. Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) does not offer calibration of ionization chambers with gamma-ray spectrum of high dose rate source 192Ir . This work has been carried out to calibrate the high dose rat...
متن کاملDosimetric investigation of high dose rate Ir-192 source with Monte Carlo method
Background: This study aims to calculate the air-kerma strength (SK), the dose rate constant (∧) and the dose rate profiles of a Gammamed 12i Ir-192 source by using the Monte Carlo technique and to compare the dose rate values with those calculated by the Abacus HDR treatment planning system (TPS). Materials and Methods: Air-kerma strength (in units of U; 1 U= μGy m2 h-1) and the dose ra...
