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 کاملAssessment of secondary particles in breast proton therapy by Monte Carlo simulation code using MCNPX
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the equivalent dose in vital organs, including heart and lung, due to secondary particles produced during breast proton therapy. Materials and Methods: The numerical ORNL female-phantom was improved and simulated using the Monte Carlo MCNPX code. The depth-dose profile of proton beams with different energies was simulated. The proper energy ran...
متن کاملSimulation of gamma-ray gamma rays by composite shields compared to the lead protection using the MCNPX code
In this study, cobalt 60 with a mean energy of (1.25 Mev) was used as a photonic source to investigate the effect of decreasing gamma-ray intensity by materials and polymer composite using MCNPX code. First, we investigated the effect of thickness and density on the reduction of gamma ray intensity, and then the comparison between the lead protector, tungsten and polymer composite in several th...
متن کاملSimulation of environmental dose distribution of nuclear gauge device MC-1DR by MCNPX code
In this study, distribution of dose rate around the nuclear gauge device MC-1DR which located in shahrekord university was simulated by MCNPX code and was compared whit the measured values. Due to the asymmetry of device and neutron and gamma source positions, the dose rates were determined at a distance of 5, 30 and 100 cm in different directions. Base on the complex geometry of the inside of ...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Photoneutron Source by MCNPX Monte Carlo Code for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...
