[ 1 ] - Dosimetric pitfalls in the application of shielding disk in breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy

Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is an IORT technique in which electron beams with different nominal energies are used for irradiation of microscopic residual of tumor bed after surgery. Application of a shielding disk, which is positioned under the target volume, for protecting the normal tissues such as pectoral muscle, lung, and heart is one of the a...

[ 2 ] - Commissioning the First Mobile Dedicated Accelerator for Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy in Iran

Introduction: Intraoperative radiotherapy is a radiotherapy technique in which a high single fraction of radiation dose is delivered to the patient after surgery and Concurrent with anesthesia time. The most frequent method for IORT implementation is Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT), in which, some dedicated and high dose per pulse electron accelerators are employe...

[ 3 ] - Optimization of tangential fields arrangement in the breast cancer 3D conformal radiation therapy

Introduction: The incidence of breast cancer increases with the rate of 1-2% at the world. Radiation therapy is one of the available choices for breast cancer treatment. The single isocentre half-beam block technique is considered as a standard technique to avoid hot and cold spots within the PTV. The major advantage of half beam technique is that the both contralateral breast...

[ 4 ] - Evaluation of organs at risk dose in the left breast IOERT procedures whit and without shielding disc using monte carlo simulation

Introduction: One of the treatment choices in breast cancer is Intra operative electron beam radiation therapy (IOERT). Due to high dose delivery in this procedure, shielding disk is used to protect organs at risk (OARs). In this study, we evaluate the OARs dose in the breast IOERT using Monte Carlo simulation with and without shielding disk in RANDO phantom. Material and Methods: Simulation ...

[ 5 ] - Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron Beams produced by LIAC Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Accelerator

Background: One of the main problems of dedicated IORT accelerators is to determine dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams. Monte Carlo simulation of IORT accelerator head and produced beam will be useful to improve the accuracy of beam dosimetry.Materials and Methods: Liac accelerator head was modeled using the BEAMnrcMonte Carlo simulation system. Phase-space files were generated at...

[ 6 ] - Absorbed dose of Fetus in SPECT-CT Imaging of Mother's Abdomen Regions using Monte Carlo method

SPECT-CT is an imaging method for diagnosing diseases and studying physiology of the body. In this type of imaging, due to the use of radiopharmaceutical for imaging (SPECT) and X-rays (CT), a relatively high dose of radiation is introduced into the patient. If the patient is pregnant, considering that the developing fetus is sensitive to any radiation in the uterus throughout the entire period...
