EGSnrc Monte Carlo-aided dosimetric studies of the new BEBIG 60Co HDR brachytherapy source
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to obtain the dosimetric parameters of the new BEBIG (60)Co brachytherapy source following by TG-43U1 recommendation with appropriate electron cutoff energy (0.521 MeV). MATERIAL AND METHODS The new BEBIG (60)Co brachytherapy source is used to calculate the TG-43U1 parameters. EGSnrc-based Monte Carlo simulation code has been used to calculate the radial d...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of the TG-43 dosimetric parameters of a new BEBIG Ir-192 HDR source.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a highly extended practice in clinical brachytherapy today. Quality dose rate distribution datasets of the HDR sources used in a clinical treatment are required. Because of the different source designs, a specific dosimetry dataset is required for each source model. In the recently published BRAPHYQS-ESTRO Report, an overview of avail...
متن کاملAccuracy Evaluation of Oncentraâ„¢ TPS in HDR Brachytherapy of Nasopharynx Cancer Using EGSnrc Monte Carlo Code
Background: HDR brachytherapy is one of the commonest methods of nasopharyngeal cancer treatment. In this method, depending on how advanced one tumor is, 2 to 6 Gy dose as intracavitary brachytherapy is prescribed. Due to high dose rate and tumor location, accuracy evaluation of treatment planning system (TPS) is particularly important. Common methods used in TPS dosimetry are based on computat...

متن کاملMonte Carlo dosimetric study of the Flexisource Co-60 high dose rate source
PURPOSE Recently, a new HDR (60)Co brachytherapy source, Flexisource Co-60, has been developed (Nucletron B.V. Veenendaal, The Netherlands). This study aims to obtain dosimetric data for this source for its use in clinical practice as required by AAPM and ESTRO. MATERIAL AND METHODS TWO MONTE CARLO RADIATION TRANSPORT CODES WERE USED: Penelope2008 and GEANT4. The source was centrally-position...
