Dosimetric audit in brachytherapy.
Dosimetric audit is required for the improvement of patient safety in radiotherapy and to aid optimization of treatment. The reassurance that treatment is being delivered in line with accepted standards, that delivered doses are as prescribed and that quality improvement is enabled is as essential for brachytherapy as it is for the more commonly audited external beam radiotherapy. Dose measurem...
متن کاملA General-purpose Dosimetric System for Brachytherapy
A general-purpose, object oriented software system has been developed for the simulation and dosimetric analysis of brachytherapy applications. The flexible object-oriented design makes this system very versatile, offering the possibility to configure it for different types of brachytherapy techniques (such as I-125 or Ir-192, for instance). The dosimetric system is based on the Geant4 Simulati...
متن کاملDetermination of Dosimetric Characteristics of IrSeed 125I Brachytherapy Source
Introduction Low dose rate brachytherapy sources have been widely used for interstitial implants in tumor sites, particularly in prostate. Dosimetric characteristics of a new IrSeed 125I brachytherapy source have been determined using the LiF thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips. Materials and Methods Dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function around the IrSeed 125I so...
متن کاملDosimetric characteristics of a new unit for electronic skin brachytherapy
PURPOSE Brachytherapy with radioactive high dose rate (HDR) (192)Ir source is applied to small skin cancer lesions, using surface applicators, i.e. Leipzig or Valencia type. New developments in the field of radiotherapy for skin cancer include electronic brachytherapy. This technique involves the placement of an HDR X-ray source close to the skin, therefore combining the benefits of brachythera...
متن کاملDetermination of the dosimetric characteristics of InterSource125 iodine brachytherapy source.
The TG-43 recommended dosimetric characteristics of a new 125I brachytherapy source have been experimentally and theoretically determined. The measurements were performed in Solid Water using LiF TLDs. The calculations were performed using Monte Carlo simulations in Solid Water and water. The measured data were compared with calculated values as well as the reported data in literature for other...
