An innovative (and yet simple) dosimetric model is proposed that provides a semi-analytical solution to the total activity-volume relationship in ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate implant. This dosimetric model is based on 4 simple assumptions

A simple five-seed assay method was proposed and investigated. A commercial well ion chamber system with an NIST-traceable single-seed calibration constant was used for the single-seed assays. A batch seed holder was used for batch assays. For the fi

Certain fundamental dosimetrical parameters involving the applications of asymmetric jaws were investigated. The nominal accelerating potentials (NAPs) were found to decrease from 5.1 to 4.2 and from 18.0 to 13.4 for the 6 and 18 MV beams, respective

The beam-hardening effects of the wedges on a 6-MV spoiled beam has been studied. The beam quality of all the wedged beams was found to be the same as the open beam. The dmax also stayed unchanged for all the wedges at all field sizes. The relative w

In July 1996, Kodak released new film-screen systems with enhanced contrast (EC) for portal localization with megavoltage therapeutic beams. This study presents the generation of general-purpose technique charts for Kodak's new film-screen combinatio

A quantitative study of the differential beam hardening effect of the flattening filter on the 6-MV beam of Clinac 2100C has been conducted with Monte Carlo simulations using EGS4 code. The fluence-weighted photon energy of the unfiltered beam decrea

Consistent collimator overlaps in field matching with computer-controlled asymmetric x-ray collimators have been observed and investigated. The results indicate that, although this consistent overlapping is small and within manufacturer's +/- 1 mm di

A beam spoiler for a 6-MV x-ray beam was designed and spoiled beam dosimetry performed. The spoiled beam quality was similar to that of the unspoiled beam. The percentage depth doses at 5 mm were at least 90% for all field sizes except 4 x 4 cm, whil
