Radial dose functions of GZP6 intracavitary brachytherapy 60Co sources: treatment planning system versus Monte Carlo calculations
Background: The Monte Carlo (MC) method is not only used for dose calculations around brachytherapy sources but also for benchmarking treatment planning systems (TPS) calculations. Materials and Methods: Three 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit were simulated using MCNP4C MC Code. The radial dose functions were calculated by MC method and GZP6 TPS and were compared. Results: There was a go...
متن کاملComparison of two treatment approaches for prostate cancer: intensity‐modulated radiation therapy combined with I125 seed‐implant brachytherapy or I125 seed‐implant brachytherapy alone
The purpose of the present study was to assess the results of two different treatment approaches for clinically localized prostate cancer: intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by 125I seed-implant brachytherapy and 125I seed-implant brachytherapy alone. We studied our 30 most recent consecutive patients. The sample population consisted of 15 cases treated with IMRT (50.4 Gy) fo...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculated doses to treatment volumes and organs at risk for permanent implant lung brachytherapy.
Iodine-125 ((125)I) and Caesium-131 ((131)Cs) brachytherapy have been used with sublobar resection to treat stage I non-small cell lung cancer and other radionuclides, (169)Yb and (103)Pd, are considered for these treatments. This work investigates the dosimetry of permanent implant lung brachytherapy for a range of source energies and various implant sites in the lung. Monte Carlo calculated d...

متن کاملModeling and dose calculations of a pure beta emitting 32P coated stent for intracoronary brachytherapy by Monte Carlo code
Background: Recently, different investigators have studied the possibility of radiation therapy in restenosis prevention and have shown promising results. In this study a unique radioactive source for intra vascular brachytherapy (IVBT) was investigated. The two-dimensional dose distribution in water for a 32P IVBT stent has been calculated. The pure beta emitter source 32P has been co...
