Monte Carlo Application in Brachytherapy Dosimetry

2009

This paper devoted to Monte-Carlo Applications in BT Dosimetry is organized in four parts: 1. Motivation of the use of Monte Carlo in brachytherapy 2. The use of Monte Carlo to obtain dose distribution around brachytherapy sources 3. Experimental dosimetry versus Monte Carlo 4. Others Monte Carlo applications in brachytherapy

Performance evaluation of a high resolution dedicated breast PET scanner

2016

Purpose: Early stage breast cancers may not be visible on a whole-body PET scan. To overcome whole-body PET limitations, several dedicated breast positron emission tomography (DbPET) systems have emerged nowadays aiming to improve spatial resolution. In this work the authors evaluate the performance of a high resolution dedicated breast PET scanner (Mammi-PET, Oncovision). Methods: Global status, uniformity, sensitivity, energy, and spatial resolution were measured. Spheres of different sizes (2.5, 4, 5, and 6 mm diameter) and various 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) activity concentrations were randomly inserted in a gelatine breast phantom developed at our institution. Several lesion-to-ba…
