A novel IMRT phantom was designed and fabricated using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. Physical properties of ABS plastic related to radiation interaction and dosimetry were compared with commonly available phantom materials for dose measurements in radiotherapy. The ABS IMRT phantom has provisions to hold various types of detectors such as ion chambers, radiographic/radiochromic...

The main high temperature peaks in the glow curves of LiF:Mg,Ti (assigned as 6 and 7), which appear at about 260 O C-270 O C, are known to have an enhanced response to higher LET radiation (as α particles) than to lower LET radiation (as photons). This effect can be used to discriminate between neutron and gamma radiations. In most works in the past a slow heating rate of up to ∼10C/s was emplo...

A dosimetry system using commercially available pin silicon photodiodes as the sensor is evaluated for in-phantom dose measurements in x-ray CT and other diagnostic radiology. System sensitivity measured as a function of the effective energy of x rays was between 0.37 and 0.49 V/mGy at an effective energy range between 23.5 and 72 keV. The minimum detectable organ dose with 25% uncertainty was ...

Introduction: Siliconeprosthetic implants are commonlyutilizedfor tissue replacement and breast augmentation after mastectomy. On the other hand, some patients require adjuvant radiotherapy in order to preventlocal-regional recurrence and increment ofthe overall survival. In case of recurrence, the radiation oncologist might have to irradiate the prosthesis.The aim of this study was to evaluate...

<span>Using a camera to monitor an object or group of objects over time is the process detection. It can be used for variety things, including security and surveillance, video communication, traffic light detection (TLD), from compressed in public places. In recent times, tracking has become popular topic computer science particularly, data community, thanks usage deep learning (DL) artif...

Dose distribution inside the human body due to external photon exposure was measured. Radiation detectors were imaging plate (IP) sheets and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). Each IP sheet was installed between horizontally sliced pieces of a rando-phantom. TLDs were also installed inside/around the position of a target organ of the phantom. The rando-phantom was exposed to a photon beam of C...

Simulating talker-to-listener distance (TLD) in virtual audio environments requires mimicking natural changes in vocal effort. Studies have identified several acoustic parameters manipulated by talkers when varying vocal effort. However, no systematic study has investigated vocal effort variations due to TLD, under natural conditions, and their perceptual consequences. This work examined the fe...

A retrospective study aims to explore differences in spinopelvic sagittal alignment between thoracolumbar disc herniation (TLD) and lower lumbar disc herniation (LLD).A total of 185 patients included 26 with TLD and 129 with LLD and 30 asymptomatic volunteers in normal group (NG). Each individual took full spine X-ray to evaluate pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumba...

INTRODUCTION Radiotherapy is a common treatment modality for patients with head and neck malignancies. As the nose lies within the field of radiotherapy of the head and neck, the olfactory fibers and olfactory receptors may be affected by radiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in olfactory threshold in patients with head and neck malignancies who have received radiation to the...

Background: The radiation dose received by contralateral breast (CLB) is one of the concerns of breast radiotherapy, because it may lead to the induction of secondary breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the CLB surface dose in the breast treatment in Yazd radiotherapy center. Materials and Methods: The surface dose of CLB was measured using TLD dosimetry in 50 cancer breast pat...
