Radial dose functions of GZP6 intracavitary brachytherapy 60Co sources: treatment planning system versus Monte Carlo calculations
Background: The Monte Carlo (MC) method is not only used for dose calculations around brachytherapy sources but also for benchmarking treatment planning systems (TPS) calculations. Materials and Methods: Three 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit were simulated using MCNP4C MC Code. The radial dose functions were calculated by MC method and GZP6 TPS and were compared. Results: There was a go...

متن کاملMonte Carlo Dose Calculation of 90 Sr/ 90 Y Source in Water Phantom
Introduction: 90 Sr/ 90 Y source has been used for the intravascular brachytherapy to prevent coronary restenosis in the patients who have undergone angioplasty. The aim of this research is to determine the dose distribution of 90 Sr/ 90 Y source in a water phantom. Materials and Methods: In the present work, MCNP code has been applied to calculate the dose distri...
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 کاملA single-source photon source model of a linear accelerator for Monte Carlo dose calculation
PURPOSE To introduce a new method of deriving a virtual source model (VSM) of a linear accelerator photon beam from a phase space file (PSF) for Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PSF of a 6 MV photon beam was generated by simulating the interactions of primary electrons with the relevant geometries of a Synergy linear accelerator (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) and rec...
