The present work compared the relative absorbed dose of some dosimetric materials, for energies 250 kV and 6 MV, using PENELOPE MNCPX codes. composition each material GD-301, TLD-100, MAGIC, MAGAT were simulated disposed in a phantom filled with water following reference conditions recommended by TRS-398 protocol. Percentage depth was used as parameter comparison. Since obtained results both co...

169 ANALYTICAL STUDY OF PHOSPHORS FOR RADIATION DOSIMETRY Pankaj Pathak1,Manisha Singh2, Pankaj Kumar Mishra3 1,2,3Department of Applied Physics, Amity School of Engineering & Technology, Amity University, Gwalior (MP) Email:[email protected] Abstract The main aim of the study is to analyse the different luminescence properties of phosphors synthesised by Combustion Synthesis (CS) Techniq...

This investigation focused on the characterization of the lateral dose fall-off following the irradiation of the target with photons, protons and carbon ions. A water phantom was irradiated with a rectangular field using photons, passively delivered protons as well as scanned protons and carbon ions. The lateral dose profile in the depth of the maximum dose was measured using an ion chamber, a ...

Introduction Radiotherapy is regarded as the first treatment of choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Despite the advantages of radiotherapy, patients may suffer from a wide range of side-effects due to the presence of many sensitive normal tissues in these regions. If the absorbed dose exceeds the tolerance level in parotid glands and the spinal cord, myelopathy, Lhermitte's sign and xerostomia...

Thymineless death (TLD) is the rapid loss of viability in bacterial, yeast, and human cells starved of thymine. TLD is the mode of action of common anticancer drugs and some antibiotics. TLD in Escherichia coli is accompanied by blocked replication and chromosomal DNA loss and recent work identified activities of recombination protein RecA and the SOS DNA-damage response as causes of TLD. Here,...

Background: Breast is one of the main radiological sensitive organs, hence it is important to evaluate absorbed dose to this organ especially to the glandular parts. It is the aim of this study to measure mean glandular dose and image contrast in terms of different mammographic parameters. Materials and Methods: In this study two mammography machines located at Said-al Shohada (Giotto) ...

OBJECTIVE Thermoluminescence of homeopathically prepared ultra-high dilutions of lithium chloride in deuterium oxide (D2O) (10 (-30) g cm (-3); C15 LiCl in D2O) and similarly prepared D2O (C15 D2O) was compared in three experiments varying (1) time between preparation of substance and time of experimentation, and (2) time between irradiation and thermoluminescence recording. Data were also comp...
