A GEANT4 Web-based Application to Support Intra-Operative Electron Radio-Therapy using the European Grid Infrastructure
Radiotherapy techniques permit to deliver ionizing radiations (X-rays, photons, electrons, protons, etc) inside cancerous tissues to kill the abnormal-cells. Radiotherapy related activities, as the optimization of the therapeutic radiation dose to the patient, worker radioprotection, performance controls and technical innovations of linear accelerators, are strongly based on the ability to pred...
متن کاملStochastic Congestion Alleviation with a Trade-off between Demand Response Resources and Load Shedding
Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...
متن کاملEffects of the modulator and range compensator blades on Bragg curve and calculating the secondary particle dose in proton-therapy of thymus gland cancer using MCNPX, FLUKA and GEANT4 codes
The thymus gland is an endocrine gland that plays an important role in the body’s immunity. Thymus gland cancer happens very rarely and one treatment way is radiation therapy. Due to the location of this gland and its proximity to the sensitive organs, radiation therapy of thymus gland cancer will bring the risk of side effects. In this paper, a Mird phantom is simulated and a modulator and ran...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry study of a multicellular model with mono-energetic electrons using Geant4-DNA simulation toolkit
Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of the particle identification (PID) system of the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE)
GEANT4 based simulation of the beam channel and the upstream PID system of the MICE experiment is presented. Results of the analysis of particle separation capabilities exploiting the time of flight system are discussed. Comparison of the performance for different settings of the magnetic elements of the beam channel and for different intrinsic resolutions of the TOF counters is made. and Coope...
