Radiation therapy is a useful and standard tumor treatment strategy. Despite recent advances in delivery of ionizing radiation, survival rates for some cancer patients are still low because recurrence radioresistance. This why many novel approaches have been explored to improve radiotherapy outcome. Some strategies focused on enhancement accuracy radiation the generation greater beams, example with higher dose rate. In present study we proposed an vitro research biological effects very high...
Abstract The current framework of radiological protection occupational exposed medical workers reduced the eye-lens equivalent dose limit from 150 to 20 mSv per year requiring an accurate dosimetric evaluation and increase understanding radiation induced effects on Lens cells considering typical scenario operators. Indeed, it is widely accepted that genomic damage epithelial (LEC) a key mechanism cataractogenesis. However, relationship between apoptosis cataractogenesis still controversial....
One method for finding reliable and cost-effective solutions designing radioisotope production systems is represented by the "digital twin" philosophy of design. Looking at cyclotron solid targets, uncertainties particle beam, material composition geometry play a crucial role in determining results. The difference between what has been designed can be effectively manufactured, where processes such as electroplating are poorly controllable generate large non-uniformities deposition, must also...
FENDL nuclear data libraries are planned to be adjourned soon with a new release (v3.2). A beta version, together previous releases and the ENDF/B-VIII.0, have been tested on sphere leakage ITER 1D computational benchmarks using JADE, under development verification validation (V&V) tool. The consistency checks performed v3.2 did not spot any formal inconsistency comparison of results show that, in general, FENDLv3.2 behaviour is quite similar v3.1d one. Nevertheless, few significant...
The use of Monte Carlo methods for the set up Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) in radiotherapy applications is a current standard. most advanced modeling techniques aim at directly link output CT scans to patient-specific model build instead standard phantoms and look-up tables. This represents critical step since even accurate segmentation organ volume definition must be translated into suitable input code. During that step, segmented usually mapped on regular geometrical lattice (voxels)....
Several kinds of isotopes are generated during radiotherapy treatments with high-energy electron sources due to the onset many nuclear reactions. These often unstable, can appear both in device and treatment chamber materials and, as a consequence decay process, involving also gamma-ray emissions, some additional dose is given patient unit staff. effects have been experimentally monitored LaBr detector for gamma spectrometry. Then measurement setup data benchmarked through Monte Carlo (MC)...
The Directive 2013/59/Euratom established a reduction of the occupational exposure limits to lens. Since it is become crucial estimate lens absorbed dose, individual variability exposed worker's ocular conformations with respect data estimated their personal dosimetry has been studied. anterior eye conformation 45 workers was acquired Scheimpflug imaging and classified according vision conditions (emmetropia, myopia or hypermetropia). Three models were computed, two reconstructions,...
