Detailed dosimetry calculation for in-vitro experiments and its impact on clinical BNCT
(Istituti Editoriali e Poligrafici Internazionali, 2021-09)
Purpose: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a form of hadrontherapy based on the selective damage caused by the products of neutron capture in 10B to tumour cells. BNCT dosimetry strongly depends on the parameters of ...
Water-equivalence of gel dosimeters for radiology medical imaging
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11)
International dosimetry protocols are based on determinations of absorbed dose to water. Ideally, the phantom material should be water equivalent; that is, it should have the same absorption and scatter properties as water. ...
Understanding the potentiality of accelerator based-boron neutron capture therapy for osteosarcoma: Dosimetry assessment based on the reported clinical experience
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2017-08)
Background: Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary malignant bone tumour, and its incidence is higher in children and adolescents, for whom it represents more than 10% of solid cancers. Despite the introduction of ...
Neutron flux and gamma dose measurement in the BNCT irradiation facility at the TRIGA reactor of the University of Pavia
(Elsevier, 2018-01)
University of Pavia is equipped with a TRIGA Mark II research nuclear reactor, operating at a maximum steady state power of 250 kW. It has been used for many years to support Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) research. ...
Effect of different gases on the sonochemical Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of citric acid
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-12)
The sonochemical (850 kHz) Cr(VI) reduction (0.30 mM, pH 2) in the presence of citric acid (Cit, 2 mM) was analyzed under different working atmospheres: reactor open to air without sparging (ROAWS), and Ar, O2, air and N2 ...
Synthesis, RL and OSL characterization of thulium doped NaMgF3 neighborite
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-11)
The aim of this work is to study the dosimetric properties of tissue-equivalent thulium doped NaMgF3 neighborites and to determine their possible application as dosimeters in personal dosimetry. In this aspect, radioluminescence ...
The role of polymers in analytical medical applications: A review
(Elsevier Science, 2020-12-01)
Many analytical methods have been developed by incorporating polymeric materials as an essential component. Polymers have a wide range of applications due to their easily tunable properties, such as their viscoelasticity, ...
Neutron‐Gamma Dosimetry for BNCT using Field Oxide Transistors with Gadolinium Oxide as Neutron Converter Layer
(American Association of Physicists in Medicine, 2022-02)
Purpose: A new type of electronic dosimeter is presented, capable of discerning between the doses of gamma photons and neutrons in a mixed beam as found in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). We introduce a real-time ...
Radioluminescence of rare-earth doped potassium yttrium fluorides crystals
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-12)
The radioluminescence (RL) properties of K2YF5 crystals doped with Ce3+, Tb3+ and Dy3+ under ionizing irradiation excitation have been studied for the first time. The main objective of this work has been to assess the ...
