Abstract

Dosimetric data for a brachytherapy source should be known before it used for clinical treatment. Iridium-192 source type H01 was manufactured by PRR-BATAN aimed to brachytherapy is not yet known its dosimetric data. Radial dose function and anisotropic dose distribution are some primary keys in brachytherapy source. Dose distribution for Iridium-192 source type H01 was obtained from the dose calculation formalism recommended in the AAPM TG-43U1 report using MCNPX 2.6.0 Monte Carlo simulation code. To know the effect of cavity on Iridium-192 type H01 caused by manufacturing process, also calculated on Iridium-192 type H01 if without cavity. The result of calculation of radial dose function and anisotropic dose distribution for Iridium-192 source type H01 were compared with another model of Iridium-192 source.

Monte Carlo characterization of the M-19 high dose rate Iridium-192 brachytherapy source

Journal Article Medich, David; Munro, III, John - Medical Physics

The MCNP5 Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the dosimetry of an M-19 iridium-192 high dose rate brachytherapy source in both air/vacuum and water environments with the in-air photon spectrum filtered to remove low-energy photons below {delta}=10 keV. Dosimetric data was organized into an away-along table and was used to derive the updated AAPM Task Group Report No. 43 (TG-43U1) parameters including S{sub K}, D(r,{theta}), {lambda}, g{sub L}(r), F(r,{theta}), {phi}{sub an}(r), and {phi}{sub an} and their respective statistical uncertainties.

Dosimetric accuracy of a deterministic radiation transport based {sup 192}Ir brachytherapy treatment planning system. Part I: Single sources and bounded homogeneous geometries

Journal Article Zourari, K.; Pantelis, E.; Moutsatsos, A.; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: The aim of this work is to validate a deterministic radiation transport based treatment planning system (TPS) for single {sup 192}Ir brachytherapy source dosimetry in homogeneous water geometries. Methods: TPS results were obtained using the deterministic radiation transport option of a BRACHYVISION v. 8.8 system for three characteristic source designs (VS2000, GMPlus HDR, and GMPlus PDR) with each source either centered in a 15 cm radius spherical water phantom, or positioned at varying distance away from the phantom center. Corresponding MC simulations were performed using the MCNPX code v.2.5.0 and source geometry models prepared using information provided by themore »« less

SU-E-T-223: Investigation of the Accuracy of Two-Dimensional Dose Distributions Measurement From High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy Ir-192 Source Using Multiple-Diode-Array Detector (MapCheck2)

Journal Article Taguenang, J; De La Fuente, T; Ahmad, S; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: To investigate the dosimetric accuracy of multiple-diode-array detector (Mapcheck2) for high-dose-rate brachytherapy Ir-192 source. The two-dimensional (2D) dose distributions measured with MapCheck2 were validated with EBT2 Gafchromic film measurement and AAPM task-group- 43 (TG-43) modeling. Methods: 2D-dose distributions from Ir-192 source were measured with MapCheck2 and EBT2-films. MapCheck2 response was corrected for effects: directional dependence, diode and phantom heterogeneity. Optical density growth of the film was controlled by synchronized scanning of the film exposed to Ir-192 and calibration films exposed to 6 MV linac beams. Similarly, MapCheck2 response was calibrated to dose using 6 MV beams. An empirical modelmore »« less

Study of encapsulated {sup 170}Tm sources for their potential use in brachytherapy

Journal Article Ballester, Facundo; Granero, Domingo; Perez-Calatayud, Jose; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: High dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is currently performed with {sup 192}Ir sources, and {sup 60}Co has returned recently into clinical use as a source for this kind of cancer treatment. Both radionuclides have mean photon energies high enough to require specific shielded treatment rooms. In recent years, {sup 169}Yb has been explored as an alternative for HDR-brachytherapy implants. Although it has mean photon energy lower than {sup 192}Ir, it still requires extensive shielding to deliver treatment. An alternative radionuclide for brachytherapy is {sup 170}Tm (Z=69) because it has three physical properties adequate for clinical practice: (a) 128.6 day half-life, (b)more »« less

Evaluation of Dosimetric Parameters for Various {sup 192}Ir Brachytherapy Sources Under Unbounded Phantom Geometry by Monte Carlo Simulation

Journal Article Devan, Krishnamurthy; Aruna, Prakasarao; Manigandan, Durai; ... - Medical Dosimetry

As per TG-43 dose calculation formalism, it is essential to obtain various dosimetric parameters such as the air-kerma strength, dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function, as they account for accurate determination of dose rate distribution around brachytherapy sources. Most of the available reported Monte Carlo simulations were performed in liquid water phantoms with a bounded region of 30-cm diameter. In this context, an attempt was made to report the dosimetric parameters for various commercially available pulsed-dose rate (PDR) and high-dose rate (HDR) sources under unbounded phantom conditions, as the data may be used as input to treatmentmore »« less
