Accurate dose estimation is critical for assessing the radiation dose-response relationship. Current dosimetry estimates for individuals from the Chornobyl Tissue Bank (CTB) are based only on the limited information on their places of residence at the time of the accident and/or at the time of surgery for thyroid cancer. The present study aimed to assess whether additional residential and dietary history data collected during personal interviews would substantially impact dose estimates. This paper presents an assessment of thyroid doses from <sup>131</sup>I intake for the 197 exposed individuals from the CTB with pathologically confirmed papillary thyroid cancer. Thyroid doses, which had been calculated for these individuals in 2010, were revised in this study using the recently substantially revised 'Thyroid Dosimetry 2020 system for Ukraine' (TDU20). In addition, residence and diet history data were collected during personal interviews with individuals for whom dosimetry-related data were scarce. The arithmetic mean of thyroid doses estimated in this study was 510 mGy (previously 700 mGy), while the median was 81 mGy (previously 120 mGy). A rather wide range of thyroid doses from zero to 11.9 Gy (previously up to 15.0 Gy) was observed among study participants. The uncertainties in doses were characterized by the geometric standard deviation of 1,000 individual stochastic doses. As a result, the geometric standard deviation varied from 1.3 to 5.3 with an overall arithmetic mean of 2.7 and a median of 2.9. This study clearly showed that the use of individual questionnaire data in dose assessment of individuals who completed personal dosimetry interviews had a noticeable impact on the thyroid dose values: the thyroid doses changed by more than 100 mGy in 31 out of 104 (29.8% of the total) individuals, while such changes due to the use of TDU20 were observed in 18 out of 104 (17.3%) individuals. Clearly, future focused studies using samples from the CTB would benefit from personal interviews to improve dose estimates. Another lesson learned from this study is that whenever a radiation accident occurs, it is important to ask affected people by health and radiation safety authorities to keep records of their own behavior and diet, and, if possible, those of their children.</p>","PeriodicalId":21002,"journal":{"name":"Radiation and Environmental Biophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142855184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas generated by the decay of uranium-bearing minerals in rocks and soils. Because radon exists everywhere in varying concentrations, it is not feasible to use incremental radon generated or enhanced by a practice as a means for assessing the need for radon management programs. Drawing from lessons learned through implementing the current NORM Guidelines, we propose decoupling the decision thresholds for NORM management (excluding radon) and radon management so that the two are considered separately, and quantifying decision-points for managing occupational radon exposure as average annual activity concentrations, with no requirement for dose calculations.

Systematic and random MLC position errors were introduced into DICOM files representing the investigated treatment plans by modifying the plan files and adjusting the MLC positions. Systematic errors were categorized as MLC opening errors, closing errors, and shift errors. The %DE in the tumour planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) caused by MLC errors were statistically analyzed using dose-volume histogram (DVH) analysis. The ArcCHECK quality assurance (QA) system was used to detect the %GP differences between baseline plans and plans with MLC errors. The correlation between %GP and %DE was obtained using linear regression methods. The results of this study indicate that MLC opening and closing errors have a significant impact on %DE and %GP in IMRT plans for breast cancer. Opening and closing errors can be detected at a gamma level of 3%/2 mm, if error values are greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, and %GP can predict DVH dosimetric changes caused by MLC opening and closing errors.

An observer study involving five experts and the deep learning model, was conducted to analyze the retrospective capabilities and inter-observer variations. The results revealed that the hind leg object detection model exhibited a robust performance, achieving an accuracy of almost 99%. Subsequently, the classification model demonstrated an overall accuracy of about 85%, revealing nuanced challenges in specific toxicity grades. The observer study highlighted high inter-observer agreement and showcased the model's superiority in accuracy and misclassification distance.

The Eclipse 13.6 treatment planning system (TPS) was used to plan the TG-119 test suite, which included four test cases: MultiTarget, Prostate, Head/Neck, and C-Shape for IMRT and VMAT techniques with 6 MV and 10 MV acceleration voltages. The results were assessed and discussed in terms of the TG-119 protocol and the results of previous studies. In addition, point dose and planar dose measurements were done using a semiflex ion chamber and an electronic portal imaging device (EPID), respectively. The planned doses of all test cases met the criteria of the TG-119 protocol, except those for the spinal cord of the C-Shape hard case. There were no significant differences between the treatment planning doses and the doses given in the TG-119 report, with p-values ranging from 0.974 to 1 (p > 0.05). Doses to the target volumes were similar in the IMRT and VMAT plans, but the organs at risk (OARs) doses were different depending on the test case.

In recent years, enrichment of tumours with metallic nanoparticles as radiosensitizer agents has generated high interest, with several studies attempting to confirm the efficacy of nanoparticles in proton therapy. In the present study Geant4 Monte Carlo (MC) code was used to quantify the increased nanoscopic dose deposition of 50 nm metallic nanoparticles including gold, bismuth, iridium, and gadolinium in water upon exposure to 5, 25, and 50 MeV protons. Dose enhancement factors, radial dose distributions in nano-scale, as well as secondary electron and photon energy spectra were calculated for the studied nanoparticles and proton beams. The obtained results demonstrated that in the presence of metallic nanoparticles an increase in proton energy leads to a decrease in secondary electron and photon production yield. Additionally, an increase in the radial dose enhancement factor from 1.4 to 16 was calculated for the studied nanoparticles when the proton energy was increased from 5 to 50 MeV. It is concluded that the dosimetric advantages of proton beams could be improved significantly in the presence of metallic nanoparticles.</p>","PeriodicalId":21002,"journal":{"name":"Radiation and Environmental Biophysics","volume":" ","pages":"537-543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141988718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
