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...

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...
