چکیده

bebig ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques have been used for treatment of uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, melanoma of the iris and other special applications for many years. the plaques consist of a thin film of 106ru, a beta emitter, encapsulated in pure silver. the present work proposes a new mathematical eye model for ophthalmic brachytherapy dosimetry. this new model includes detailed description of internal structures, allowing dose determination in different regions of the eye for a more adequate clinical analysis. in the present work, we have used mcnp4c code to calculate relative dose in a new human eye model. the isodose curves and dosimetric characteristics for two 106ru eye applicators have been determined. also, absorbed dose values due to both small cca and ccb concave applicators were obtained for each one of the different structures which compose the eye model and can give relevant information in eventual clinical analyses.

Monte Carlo Simulation for Treatment Planning Optimization of the COMS and USC Eye Plaques Using the MCNP4C Code

Introduction: Ophthalmic plaque radiotherapy using I-125 radioactive seeds in removable episcleral plaques is often used in management of ophthalmic tumors. Radioactive seeds are fixed in a gold bowl-shaped plaque and the plaque is sutured to the scleral surface corresponding to the base of the intraocular tumor. This treatment allows for a localized radiation dose delivery to the tumor with a ...

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization

In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...

Dose Assessment of Eye and Its Components in Proton Therapy by Monte Carlo Method

Introduction Proton therapy is used to treat malignant tumors such as melanoma inside the eye. Proton particles are adjusted according to various parameters such as tumor size and position and patient’s distance from the proton source. The purpose of this study was to assess absorbed doses in eyes and various tumors found in the area of sclera and choroid and the adjacent tissues in radiotherap...
