Materials and Methods: We retrospec vely reviewed 110 pa ents with pediatric-type sarcomas. Overall and disease free survival was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test. To iden fy prognos c factors for overall and disease free survival, mul variate survival analyses using a Cox’s propor onal-hazard regression model was performed.

Investigation of the radioactivity present in these materials (Phosphate rock, cement dust, limestone, sand and borax) enables one to assess any possible radiological hazard to humankind by such materials.

In addition, the radiological hazards were calculated for the investigated samples.

The values of absorbed dose rates, radium equivalent activities and annual effective dose due to 226Ra, 232Th and 40K respectively, are ranged from 22.05 to 101.59 nGy h-1, 45.90 to 224.22 Bq kg-1 and 27.04 to 124.59 µSv y-1. In addition, the values of external hazard index, internal hazard index and gamma index have been calculated.

However, the real environment was more complex. Microwave was not the only factor that organisms might be affected. Other physical or chemical factors, such as ionizing radia on (IR), ultraviolet (UV), magne c field and chemical drugs, o-en existed with the microwave radia on. Even the microwave itself could create combined exposure situa on, because the environment consisted different frequency microwaves. Nuclear weapons and high-power radar could produce microwave and ionizing radia on. The ultraviolet ray and magne c field generated by the instrument's opera on could act on the human bodies along with the microwaves.

For CyberKnife and fixed circular collimators, the difference in output factor values did not exceed 2% from vendor-supplied values, even for the smallest radia on field with a diameter of 5 mm. Conclusion: Our results indicate that the MicroDiamond detector is a promising tool for rela ve small field dosimetry. For output factor measurements on Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion and CyberKnife, the detector can be used with minimal response correc ons applied (correc on factors not larger than 2%).","PeriodicalId":14498,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Radiation Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"7-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43420686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
