[ 1 ] - Development of an Advanced Optical Coherence Tomography System for Radiation Dosimetry

Introduction: According to the literature, optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used measure radiation absorbed dose. This study was carried out to design a computed tomography system for the calculation of absorbed dose and optimization of dose delivery in radiotherapy using gel dosimeters. Material and Methods: An advanced charge-coupled device based OCT system was developed in laborator...

[ 2 ] - Siemens primus accelerator simulation using EGSnrc Monte Carlo code and gel dosimetry validation with optical computed tomography system by EGSnrc code

Monte Carlo method is the most accurate method for simulation of radiation therapy equipment. The linear accelerators (linac) are currently the most widely used machines in radiation therapy centers. Monte Carlo modeling of the Siemens Primus linear accelerator in 6 MeV beams was used. Square field size of 10 × 10 cm2 produced by the jaws was compared with TLD. Head simulation of Siemens accele...

[ 3 ] - Calculation of gel dose after external radiation therapy using optical CT

In this study, the MAGIC- f polymer gel was used to determine the absorbed dose by external radiation therapy. The MAGIC- f gel was made under normal pressure and temperature conditions and irradiated with a Siemens 6MV linear accelerator at 10 × 10 cm2 and at a depth of 10 cm. While simulating the head of the accelerator unit by the Monte Carlo method with BEAMnrc code, the percentage depth do...

[ 4 ] - Determination of the absorbent dose increase factor for different concentrations of gold nanoparticles using a dosimetry gel

with the advancement of nanotechnology, high-atomic materials such as gold nanoparticles can be used to increase the amount of absorbed doses and use this property to eliminate cancer cells. In this study, the dose enhancement factor (DEF) derived from different concentrations of gold nanoparticles was calculated to show an increase in absorbed dose from gold nanoparticles. At first, a tissue e...
