Monte Carlo Modeling of the Elekta Precise Linear Accelerator: Validation of Dose Distribution in a Heterogeneous Water Phantom
The present work is devoted to develop a computational model using the Monte Carlo code MCNP5 (Monte Carlo N-Particle) for the simulation of a 6 MV photon beam given by Elekta Precise medical linear accelerator treatment head. The model includes the major components of the multileaf accelerator head and a cube-shaped water tank. Calculations were performed for a photon beam with 10 cm x 10 cm i...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study on Photoneutron Spectrum around Elekta SL75/25 18 MV linear accelerator
Medical linear accelerators are one of the most widespread methods for cancer treatment. Despite their advantages, unwanted photoneutrons are produced by high energy linacs. This photoneutrons are as undesired doses to patients and a significant problem for radiation protection of the staffs and patients. Photoneutrons radiological risk must be evaluated because of their high LET and range.in o...

متن کاملComparison of Electron-Beam Dose Distributions in a Heterogeneous Phantom Obtained Using Radiochromic Film Dosimetry and Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: Nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. Properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. Material and Methods: In this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...
متن کاملApplication of MCNP4C Monte Carlo code in radiation dosimetry in heterogeneous phantom
Background: In treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by ICRU in report 24. The experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. Therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...
