Dental Materials Effect in Neutron Contamination: Electron Mode of a Linac
Background: Neutron contamination is produced in electron beams of linac when tooth or dental materials are located in the path of beam. Objective: This study aims to determine the neutron dose contamination from different dental restoration materials in electron mode of a linac. Material and Methods: In this experimental study, the neutron dose contamination was calculated in the p...
متن کاملLaser System for a Subpicosecond Electron Linac
At the Argonne Chemistry Division efforts are underway to develop a sub-picosecond electron beam pulse radiolysis facility for chemical studies. The target output of the accelerator is to generate electron pulses that can be adjusted from 3nC in .6ps to 100nC in 45ps. In conjunction with development of the accelerator a stateof-the-art ultrafast laser system is under construction that will driv...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effects of Different Filters and Helium Bag on the Reduction of Electron Contamination in Photon Beam of Neptun Linac
Introduction: Skin sparing is one of the most desirable characteristics of high energy photon beams. However, the photons emerging from the target of linacs are contaminated by secondary electrons as a result of their interactions with air, collimators, flattening filter and any other objects in their path. This phenomenon tends to increase the skin dose received b...
متن کاملNeutron Contamination Unexpected Dose in Varian LINAC
Introduction: Neutron contamination is very harmful for the patients receiving radiation therapy due to the high relative biological effect of neutrons. Medical linear accelerators head are made up of materials with high atomic numbers, and High-energy photons interaction with heavy materials can produce neutron contamination. In this study, neutron equivalent dose, neutron spe...
متن کاملEstimation of Secondary Skin Cancer Risk Due To Electron Contamination in 18-MV LINAC-Based Prostate Radiotherapy
Introduction Accurate estimation of the skin-absorbed dose in external radiation therapy is essential to estimating the probability of secondary carcinogenesis induction Materials and Methods Electron contamination in prostate radiotherapy was investigated using the Monte Carlo (MC) code calculation. In addition, field size dependence of the skin dose was assessed. Excess cancer risk induced by...
