Over the years, this kind of equipment has been improved to ensure that the patients do not receive unnecessary doses. For this reason it is important to keep a quality control program for the CT equipment. To perform the dosimetry in CT beams, the instrument used is usually a pencil type ionization chamber with a sensitive volume length of 10 cm. However, this kind of detector is available with different sensitive volume lengths. The aim of this study was to compare the response of two homemade pencil type ionization chambers with sensitive volume lengths of 10 cm and 30 cm in the laboratories of Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN, Brazil) and National Physical Laboratory (NPL, UK). The characterization tests were performed, and the results obtained are within the international recommended limits. The only difference observed in the response of the two chambers in both laboratories is the fact that the ionization current obtained in all the tests at the IPEN is higher than at the NPL, because of the beam characteristics.","PeriodicalId":9203,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139534279","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}

Estimation of dose in normal and tumor cells are important to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of treatment. Monte Carlo simulation is the most suitable method for estimation of absorbed dose at microscopic level. It is therefore useful to carry out Monte Carlo simulation of Auger emitting radionuclides in order to assess the sensitivity of the results with respect to transport approximations generally used in Monte Carlo codes.   There are several Auger emitting radionuclides with potential clinical applications, however, based on their half-life 111In is the most suitable for Auger therapeutic purposes and was considered in the present investigation. Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation was performed and specific absorbed dose fraction (or S-values) for 111In were calculated by using different physics model (Standard, Livermore, Penelope and Geant4-DNA) and compared with Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry (MIRD) S-values. Source was distributed in the cytoplasm (Cy), surface (Cs) and nucleus (N). Average of relative differences (RD) (%) were calculated for self and cross absorbed dose. RD(%) for self-absorption (NßN) were 4.4, 2.36, 6.21 and 1.1 for Standard, Penelope, Livermore and Geant4-DNA respectively. For cross-absorption these values were higher (e.g. for NßCy 15.4, 18.36, 19.21 and 24.8 for Standard, Penelope, Livermore and Geant4-DNA respectively). Cutoff energy considered for electrons and gamma photons affect the results in dose estimation for Auger electrons in Monte Carlo simulation.","PeriodicalId":9203,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138945518","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}

It is a compact and inherently safe reactor that operates at a continuous power level of 100 kW with a solid homogeneous General Atomic (GA) fuel element of zirconium hydride moderator homogeneously combined with 20% enriched uranium. The reactor core is at the bottom of a tank under approximately 6.0 meters of shielding water. The long operation time of the reactor, 63 years, and the contact of the water with the core, can induce corrosive processes in the IPR-R1 reactor and affect its safe operation. To keep the water quality according to the chemical-physical recommended standards, a quality management program, as recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was implemented. The water quality management program is a guideline of good practices applied to nuclear reactors, targeting to keep their water coolants at specified physical-chemical standard. The main aim of the present work is to introduce IPR-R1 Triga’s water chemistry program results from the second half of 2022 till the first half of 2023, when the installation returned to its regular activities after the Covid-19 pandemic. The physical-chemical parameters evaluated (e.g.: pH, alpha and beta radiation, electrical conductivity and gamma emitters) shows that the IPR-R1 reactor operates within recommended safety standards.","PeriodicalId":9203,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138956419","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}

We consider the evaluation of green tea (Camellia Sinensis) opportune for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while its composition in polyphenols would make it possible to reduce radiosensitivity and improve cell recovery. Thus, our objective was to assess the efficacy of this infusion in the management of mucositis developed during radiant treatment of patients with head and neck cancer. Materials and Methods: a prospective and controlled clinical trial was carried out on a population of 20 patients, under treatment with intensity modulated radiation (IMRT). The result of the intervention with green tea rinses (4 times/day) or compliance with the usual protocol, was assessed by detailed recording of radiotoxicity, using the RTOG scale. Statistical analysis was performed using the T-Test: Student's t-Mann-Whitney U. Results: all the patients who adhered to and exhaustively complied with the protocol with the infusion, although they did not significantly recover the state of the oral cavity, demonstrated better control of the radio-induced acute effects (xerostomia and mucositis). Conclusion: although our results are preliminary, they allow us to suggest that from the intervention with green tea, the acute radiation-induced effects could be modulated. We believe intervention with this substance is opportune, given its easy administration, availability, cost, and lack of toxicity in a wide range of doses.","PeriodicalId":9203,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138971958","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}

One of the main problems is related to the flow of radiopharmaceuticals, which implies exposure to ionizing radiation, which in turn poses serious biological risks to the human body. simple erythema (redness) to the acute radiation syndrome, which can even be lethal. Factors like this corroborate the need for training that simulate real situations, however, situations like this are limited, due to the risk to which a non-specialized professional can be exposed if radioprotection standards are not obeyed. The present work aims to propose and evaluate the use of virtual reality (VR) technology for training and qualification of professionals in a radiopharmacy. The applied methodology was divided into four stages, initially the rules and regulations regarding the Nuclear Medicine Service published by ANVISA, CNEN and international recommendations by the IAEA were analyzed in detail, in the second stage visits were carried out in public and private hospitals in the Rio de Janeiro that present the nuclear medicine service, in the third stage the virtual environment (simulator) was built, and the fourth stage proposed strategies to carry out training, considering a new technique for teaching. The use of virtual reality, through a simulator, allowed the creation of a graphical environment with a realistic appearance, in which the user can navigate in this environment and manipulate the virtual world. Therefore, it is expected that this tool can help in the planning and training of radiopharmacy professionals.","PeriodicalId":9203,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005601","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}

Based on the radiation protection exemptions for the disposal of mining waste, the study analyses the use of waste as a raw material for the construction industry. The minimum dose rate found for gamma radiation in the waste was 0.24 µSv/h and a maximum dose of 0.33 µSv/h, which corresponds to an annual dose above the population exposure limit. The radio concentrations from gamma spectrometric analyses with the Ge(HP) detector for the two samples are a maximum of 240 Bq/kg for Ra-226 and a maximum of 840 Bq/kg for Ra-228. Despite the dose values determined for gamma radiation, CNEN Resolution 179 of 2014 considers materials with natural radioactive concentrations of radium 226 and 228 of up to 1000 Bq/kg suitable for use in the cement industry. Nevertheless, further analysis must be carried out.
