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 ...

Introduction: GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) is a Monte Carlo simulation platform developed by the OpenGATE collaboration since 2001 and first publicly released in 2004. In Geant4, each physics process is described by a model (several models are sometimes available for a given physics process) and a corresponding cross-section table. All Geant4 physics model...

Introduction: The use of ionizing radiation in diagnostic medicine is expanding, and considering the fact that the practical dosimeter in a precise way is almost impossible, the Monte Carlo computational methods help researchers, to have coming up the lowest cost and error of the distribution of doses in the patient's body. Materials and Methods: In this st...
متن کاملComparison of fluence-to-dose conversion coefficients for deuterons, tritons and helions.
Secondary radiation in aircraft and spacecraft includes deuterons, tritons and helions. Two sets of fluence-to-effective dose conversion coefficients for isotropic exposure to these particles were compared: one used the particle and heavy ion transport code system (PHITS) radiation transport code coupled with the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) reference phantoms (PHI...
