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...

Predicting dose and cell survival distributions for brachytherapy sources

Creator:

Stringham, Michael J.

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is to determine the biological impact of dose from brachytherapy sources commonly used in cancer treatment. To achieve this goal, the Monte Carlo code PENELOPE was used to simulate point sources of four different isotopes (¹⁰³Pd, ¹²⁵I, ¹³⁷Cs, and ⁹⁰Sr) in an infinite medium of...

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...
