background: monte carlo (mc) modeling of a linear accelerator is a prerequisite for monte carlo dose calculations in external beam radiotherapy. in this study, a simple and efficient model was developed for elekta sl-25 linear accelerator using mcnp4c monte carlo code materials and methods: the head of elekta sl-25 linac was simulated for 6 and 18 mv photon beams using mcnp4c mc code. energy sp...

Photon buildup factors for soft tissue, water, and dosimetric materials have been computed in the energy range of 0.2 to 2 MeV using geometric progression (GP) fitting approximation. The results for soft tissue and water have been compared with the values obtained through Monte Carlo code MCNP4C. Data obtained from GP fitting method quite well obey a semi empirical relation which is a function ...

Theoretical and experimental studies have been applied for dosimetric parameters determination of the brachytherapy sources (1-3). Usually, Monte Carlo method has been used to define such quantities as the anisotropy dose function, the radial dose function, and the dose calculation close to the source in brachytherapy (4-6). Ir source is used widely in brachytherapy to treat localized tumors ne...

Thermal neutron capture can be used as a successful technique for detection of non-metallic landmines via the detection of their constituent like nitrogen. Recently, it has been shown that the detection of 10.829 MeV photons from the N(n,γ)N reaction can be used for finding the landmines. In this method a high-energy neutron source like Am-Be inside water as a moderator is used to have thermal ...

BEBIG Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques have been used for treatment of uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, melanoma of the iris and other special applications for many years. The plaques consist of a thin film of Ru, a beta emitter, encapsulated in pure silver. The present work proposes a new mathematical eye model for ophthalmic brachytherapy dosimetry. This new model includes detailed description...

در این کار پژوهشی، نمونه‌های هیدروکسی اپتایت آلاییده با ناخالصی‌های سریم، گادولونیم و ترکیبی از دو ناخالصی به روش هیدروترمال سنتز شدند. منظور بررسی فازهای بلوری تشکیل یافته هرکدام شده، کد MAUD که یک نرم‌افزار برای تجزیه تحلیل ساختار ماده استفاده پراش بر اساس ریتولد است، شد. پاسخ دزیمتری ترمولومینسانس نمونه‌ها مورد قرار گرفت یافته‌ها نشان داد نمونه‌ ترکیبی، سطح میانی است. مشخص شد افزودن سریم می‌...
