Peripheral Organ Equivalent Dose Estimation Procedure in Proton Therapy
(2022)
The aim of this work is to present a reproducible methodology for the evaluation of total equivalent doses in organs during proton therapy facilities. The methodology is based on measuring the dose equivalent in representative ...
Photon and neutron shielding features of quarry tuff
(Elsevier, 2017)
The shielding characteristics of quarry tuff (cantera) against photons and 241AmBe neutrons, were determined.
The effective atomic number of cantera, the Exposure and the Energy absorption buildup factors
for photons in ...
Photon iso-effective dose for cancer treatment with mixed field radiation based on dose-response assessment from human and an animal model: Clinical application to boron neutron capture therapy for head and neck cancer
(IOP Publishing, 2017-10)
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a treatment modality that combines different radiation qualities. Since the severity of biological damage following irradiation depends on the radiation type, a quantity different ...
Detection of renal cell carcinoma using neutron time of flight spectroscopy
(Sao Paulo: ABEN, 2013, 2014)
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. ...
Neutron spectra and dosimetric features around an 18 MV Linac accelerator
(Health Physics Society, 2005-01)
Using the difference between responses to neutrons of TLD-600 and TLD-700, three experimental devices were constructed and arranged to measure thermal neutron fluences, neutron spectra, and neutron doses inside the treatment ...
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 ...
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 ...
Desenvolvimento de um sistema embarcado para detecção de nêutrons térmicos e fótons de baixa energia
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2013-02-20)
Europium-activated lithium-6 iodide is a scintillator used for gamma and neutron counting. A portable detection system was built based on this scintillator. This system has three modules: the scintillator, a 10 m liquid ...
