    University essay from Medicinsk strålningsfysik (tills m KI)

    Author : Artur Omar; [2010]
    Keywords : Radiotherapy; Silicon diode; Dosimetry; Dose response correction; Small field; Strålterapi; Kiseldiod; Dosimetri; Dos-respons korrektion; Små fält;

    Abstract : Silicon diodes compared to other types of dosimeters have several attractive properties, such as an excellent spatial resolution, a high sensitivity, and clinically practical to use. These properties make silicon diodes a preferred dosimeter for relative dosimetry for several types of measurements in small field dosimetry, e.g. READ MORE

  3. 2. Dosimetrical studies on a tissue level using the MCNP4c2 Monte Carlo Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Erik Larsson; [2004]
    Keywords : Nukleärmedicin; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis has been to learn the MCNP-code, its theory and limitations, and how to use it in the field of small-scale dosimetry. In order to evaluate the applicability of the code for future dosimetry studies it was applied on a novel small-intestinal dosimetry model. READ MORE
