Proton Therapy of eye using MCNPX code
Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...
متن کاملProton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملCalculation of depth dose profiles with a track structure code
A prerequisite for applying high-LET radiation like protons or carbon ions to patients is the precise knowledge of absorbed dose, specifically the depth dose distribution. The legal restraints imposed by the authorities requires the Bragg peak position to be reproduced within 0.5 mm and the calculated absorbed dose distribution to agree within 5% (on average) with the measurements. These condit...
متن کاملComparison of Different Model Predictions on RBE in the Proton Therapy Technique Using the GATE Code
Recently, proton therapy is used as one of the effective methods for treating various types of cancer in clinical treatment. An appropriate formalism to obtain relative biological effectiveness values for treatment planning studies is needed in this hadrontherapy technique. Hereby, the quantity of biological dose, instead of using the physical doses, is introduced to evaluate the biological eff...
متن کاملRadiotherapy Proton Interactions in Matter
Radiotherapy protons interact with matter in three ways. Multiple collisions with atomic electrons cause them to lose energy and eventually stop. Multiple collisions with atomic nuclei cause them to scatter by a few degrees. Occasional hard scatters by nuclei or their constituents throw dose out to large distances from the beam. Unlike the first two processes, these hard scatters or ‘nuclear in...
