Development of a dose conversion factor from uptakes of Po-210 through smoking using a modified ICRP 30 lung model

Creator:

Hout, Jason D.

Abstract:

A thesis presented on the determination of factors related to deposition, clearance, and dosimetry of the ICRP 30 lung model as related to smoking. Variations in calculations used to determine radiation doses leave a need to determine a standard method to determine absorbed dose from smoking. Standard parameters are used...

An investigation on photoneutron production from medical linear accelerators

Creator:

Eller, Leanna R.

Abstract:

The photoneutron production from three Varian linear accelerators ranging in energies from 6 MV to 23 MV has been investigated. Photoneutrons are produced during (γ, n) interactions with materials located within the treatment head. These unwanted neutrons not only increase patient dose, but may also lead to the requirement of...

Dosimetric verification of respiratory gated radiation therapy for tumors involving the lung

Creator:

Webb, Lindsey S.

Abstract:

As the field of radiation therapy evolves new treatment techniques will be established. An example of an evolving treatment technique is respiratory gated radiation therapy (RGRT). Research and studies have shown that RGRT can be used to account for tumor motion as a result of respiratory motion. With evolving technology...
