Testing Continuity between Versions 5.3.9 and 6.3.1 of Plaque Simulator for Planning Eye Plaque Brachytherapy Cases

Creator:

Polsdofer, Elizabeth M.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges of accepting and commissioning a new treatment planning system for eye plaque brachytherapy. Currently Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) utilizes v5.3.9 of the Plaque Simulator software to plan all of its eye plaque brachytherapy cases. However, v5.3.9 is no...

Monte Carlo derived absorbed fractions in a voxelized model of a rainbow trout

Creator:

Hess, Catherine A.

Abstract:

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...

An investigation of chitosan for sorption of radionuclides

Creator:

Holfeltz, Vanessa Elaine

Abstract:

Chitosan is a biopolymer resulting from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer in nature. Chitosan has been successfully used in systems to remove metal ions and other pollutants from wastewater. Chitosan has shown promise as a sorbent for radionuclides in some aqueous waste streams. The sorption of...

Medical radionuclides and their impurities in wastewater

Creator:

Hay, Tristan Ryan

Abstract:

NCRP report No.160 states that medical exposure increased to nearly half of the total radiation exposure of the U.S. population from all sources in 2006 (NCRP 2009). Part of this increase in exposure is due to the rise in nuclear medicine procedures. With this observed growth in medical radionuclide usage,...

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...
