In the present study, a number of brachytherapy sources and activation media were
simulated using MCNPX code and the results were analyzed based on the dose …

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the dose in various soft tissues in
brachytherapy with photon emitting sources. Material and methods: 103 Pd, 125 I, 169 Yb …

Photon activation is a radiotherapy technique in which an element is added to the absorbing
medium to raise the probability that a photoelectric interaction will occur, thus causing an …

The aim of this study was to perform a systematic comparison of the dose-rate constant (Λ)
determined by the photon spectrometry technique (PST) with the consensus value (CON Λ) …

The Source Production & Equipment Co.(SPEC) model is a new brachytherapy source
model intended for use as a temporary high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy source for the …

A novel treatment modality termed energy modulated photon radiotherapy (EMXRT) was
investigated. The first step of EMXRT was to determine beam energy for each gantry …

In photodynamic therapy (PDT), a photosensitizing agent is administered following
irradiation on the target volume. The wavelength beam to activate the photosensitizer is …

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of photon energy‐modulated radiotherapy during
beam‐on time. Methods: A cylindrical device made of aluminum was conceptually proposed …

Dose calculation in high dose rate brachytherapy with 192 Ir is usually based on the TG-
43U1 protocol where all media are considered to be water. Several dose calculation …

Calculations of photonuclear production in “tissue approximation” and the relative heavy
particle dose to photon dose at dose maximum in water have been performed. Different 50 …
