Skin depth dose distribution measurement and analysis using radiochromic dosimetry

Creator:

Thuo, Kellen K.

Abstract:

Compliance with 10CFR 20.101 requires that exposure to the skin be assessed at a depth of 0.007 cm over 10 cm² area. This depth generally corresponds to the interface between the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission states the criteria for evaluating skin dose from...

Comparison of eye plaque dosimetry using deterministic and Monte Carlo methods

Creator:

Bristol, Jonathan R.

Abstract:

Eye plaque brachytherapy is an established technique for the treatment of ocular melanoma that allows for the preservation of the affected eye as well as visual function. A common treatment planning system for eye plaque procedures, Plaque Simulator (PS), assists physicists in calculating the radiation dose to the tumor and...

Radiation dose and risk in interventional neuroradiology

Creator:

Magill, Dennise M.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Exposure from medical radiation sources are on the rise in the United States. Often the highest potential source of radiation dose to patients and radiology staff occur during interventional radiology procedures performed using fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to provide image guidance in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Several...
