This study uses Monte Carlo simulation and experimental measurements to develop a predictive model for estimating the external dose rate associated with permanent radioactive source implantation in prostate cancer patients. The objective is estimate accuracy of patient’s measurement. First, I-125 sources were implanted into Mylar window water phantoms simulate these Water phantom measurement was combined equations, whose performance verified against clinical data. model’s predicting patients...
Good bone quality is the key to avoiding osteoporotic fragility fractures and poor outcomes after lumbar instrumentation fusion surgery. Although dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) screening current standard for evaluating osteoporosis, many patients lack DEXA measurements before undergoing spine The present study aimed investigate utility of using simple quantitative parameters generated with novel synthetic MRI evaluate quality, as well correlations these measurements.This prospective...
Abstract: A 52-year-old woman was diagnosed with left parietal glioblastoma, and underwent craniotomy near total tumor removal on October 11th, 2017. After the surgery, she received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (6,000 cGy in 30 fractions daily oral temozolomide) adjuvant monthly temozolomide for following 12 months. However, relapse noted during February 2018 by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. The progressed rapidly, patient experienced right limbs hemiplegia. Therefore,...
This paper discusses the feasibility of a monitoring program for quality assurance status activity meters. We sent questionnaire to clinical nuclear medicine departments medical institutions, requesting information on their meters and practices. On-site visits were conducted with exemption-level standard sources (Co-57, Cs-137 Ba-133) dose calibrators in including physical inspection, accuracy reproducibility. A method offering quick check detection efficiency space dimension inside was also...
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a precise targeted particle therapy. Its principal purpose to specifically administer boron-10-containing drugs tumor cells and subsequently irradiate them with thermal neutrons. This highly explosive destruction method exclusively attacks that uptake drugs, while minimizing damage the surrounding normal without drug uptake, thereby making it an ideal option for treatment of pediatric patients recurrent brain tumors. Methods: Since March...
Abstract This study was to determine the significance of factors considered for measurement accuracy personal dosimeter in dosimetry services such as service, irradiation category, years use and readout frequency. The investigation included management information questionnaire, on-site visit blind test. test with random selected badge used inter-comparison eight services, results followed ANSI/HPS N13.11 criteria. also analyzed deviations if they felt criteria ICRP 75 or not. One-way ANOVA...

Abstract This study was to determine the artificial factors considered for measurement accuracy of personal dosimeter in dosimetry services under current performance test criteria. The investigation included management information questionnaire, on-site visit and blind test. with random selected badge used inter-comparison eight services, results followed ANSI/HPS N13.11 also analyzed deviations if they felt criteria ICRP 75 or not. One-way ANOVA tests were analyze significant difference...
