Effect of thyroid shielding during mammography : measurements on phantom and patient as well as estimation with Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]
Background: During mammography, the thyroid is exposed to scattered radiation from breast tissue and device. This may increase the risk of radiation induced thyroid cancer. Methods: We investigated the scatter radiation exposition of the thyroid and the

A seed specific dose kernel method for low-energy brachytherapy dosimetry. [PDF]
We describe a method for independently verifying the dose distributions from pre- and post-implant brachytherapy source distributions. Monte Carlo calculations have been performed to characterize the three-dimensional dose distribution in water phantom ...

The Ratio between Absorbed Dose, Kerma and Ionization Kerma for Small-size Fields
Purpose: Research of the relationships between spatial distributions in water of the main dosimetric values, namely the absorbed dose, kerma and ionization kerma, for small-size fields with a circular cross section created by divergent beams of bremsstrahlung spectrum with a maximum energy of 6 MeV. Material and methods: Using the Monte-Carlo ...

Methodology study for determining the half-value layer using the Monte Carlo code PHITS
For most purposes, the quality of a beam can be specified in terms of the half-value layer (HVL), which is the thickness of material required to reduce the air kerma to half, at one meter from the source, from a unidirectional beam of infinitesimal ...
