Effect of the radiation field of view and angle in unconventional angiography on patient doses: a Monte Carlo simulation study using a voxelized phantom
Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effect of variation of beam angle and field of view (FOV) on organs’ and effective doses for patients undergoing interventional cardiology examinations by using Monte Carlo simulations and ICRP110 phantom. Materials and Methods: Simulations were done for energies obtained from experimental measurements on the left...
متن کاملPhoton Beam Transport in a Voxelized Human Phantom Model: Discrete Ordinates Vs Monte Carlo
With recent development of new methods such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for radiation delivery, dose fields can, in principle, be generated in near-conformal three-dimensional (3-D) distributions around a designated treatment volume, while minimizing exposure to vital organs. Because the intended dose distributions are sensitive to the assumed treatment geometry, the new del...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of two 106Ru eye plaques in a new mathematical human eye model
BEBIG Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques have been used for treatment of uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, melanoma of the iris and other special applications for many years. The plaques consist of a thin film of 106Ru, a beta emitter, encapsulated in pure silver. The present work proposes a new mathematical eye model for ophthalmic brachytherapy dosimetry. This new mod...
متن کاملA New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization
In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...
