Monte Carlo calculation of shielded colpostat effect on rectum received dose in high dose rate brachytherapy with Cobalt-60 sources
Background: In the current study the effect of shielded colpostat on rectum received dose was calculated in cervical brachytherapy using Monte Carlo (MC) method. Materials and Methods: Two 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit used for intracavitary treatments were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Also the two types of colpostats including shielded and unshielded were simulated inside ...
متن کاملCalculation of Absorbed Glandular Dose using a FORTRAN Program Based on Monte Carlo X-ray Spectra in Mammography
Introduction: Average glandular dose calculation in mammography with Mo-Rh target-filter and dose calculation for different situations is accurate and fast. Material and Methods: In this research, first of all, x-ray spectra of a Mo target bombarded by a 28 keV electron beam with and without a Rh filter were calculated using the MCNP code. Then, we used the Sobol-Wu parameters to write a FORTRA...
متن کاملDose distributions at extreme irradiation depths of gamma knife radiosurgery: EGS4 Monte Carlo calculations.
The accuracy of the dose planning system (Leksell GammaPlan), used in Gamma Knife (type B) radiosurgery at extreme irradiation depths, was verified using the Monte Carlo technique. EGS4 Monte Carlo calculations were employed to calculate the dose distribution along the x, y and z axes for an irradiation relatively shallow in a spherical bony cavity water phantom. Two different sizes of the coll...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Study for Photoneutron Dose Estimations around the High-Energy Linacs
Background: High-energy linear accelerator (linac) is a valuable tool and the most commonly device for external beam radiation treatments in cancer patients. In the linac head, high-energy photons with energies above the threshold of interaction produce photoneutrons. These photoneutrons deliver the extra dose to the patients in the planning treatment and increase the risk of secondary cancer.O...
متن کاملComplexity of Monte Carlo and deterministic dose-calculation methods.
Grid-based deterministic dose-calculation methods for radiotherapy planning require the use of six-dimensional phase space grids. Because of the large number of phase space dimensions, a growing number of medical physicists appear to believe that grid-based deterministic dose-calculation methods are not competitive with Monte Carlo methods. We argue that this conclusion may be premature. Our re...
