  • Purpose: Although ionization chambers are widely used to measure beam commissioning data, point-by-point measurements of all the profiles with various field size and depths are time-consuming tasks. As an alternative, we investigated the feasibility of a linear diode array for commissioning a treatment planning system. Methods: The beam data of a Varian TrueBeam® radiotherapy system at 6 and 10 MV with/without a flattening filter were measured for commissioning of an Eclipse Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA) ver.15.6. All of the necessary beam data were measured using an IBA CC13 ionization chamber and validated against Varian "Golden Beam" data. After validation, the measured CC13 profiles were used for commissioning the Eclipse AAA (AAACC13). In addition, an IBA LDA-99SC linear diode array detector was used to measure all of the beam profiles and for commissioning a separate model (AAALDA99). Finally, the AAACC13 and AAALDA99 dose calculations for each of the 10 clinical plans were compared. Results: The agreement of the CC13 profiles with the Varian Golden Beam data was confirmed within 1% except in the penumbral region, where ≤2% of a discrepancy related to machine-specific jaw calibration was observed. Since the volume was larger for the CC13 chamber than for the LDA-99SC chamber, the penumbra widths were larger in the CC13 profiles, resulting in ≤5% differences. However, after beam modeling, the penumbral widths agreed within 0.1 mm. Finally the AAALDA99 and AAACC13 dose distributions agreed within 1% for all voxels inside the body for the 10 clinical plans. Conclusions: In conclusion, the LDA-99SC diode array detector was found to be accurate and efficient for measuring photon beam profiles to commission treatment planning systems.

  • Background: In the calibration and testing laboratory of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, the old X-ray generator used for the production of reference X-ray fields was replaced with a new one. For this newly installed X-ray irradiation system, beam alignment as well as the verification of beam qualities was conducted. Materials and Methods: The existing X-ray generator, Phillips MG325, was replaced with YXLON Y.TU 320-D03 in order to generate reference X-ray fields. Theoretical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations were used to determine initial filter thickness. Beam alignment was performed in three steps to deliver a homogeneous radiation dosage to the target at different distances. Finally, the half-value layers were measured for different X-ray fields to verify beam qualities by using an ion chamber. Results and Discussion: Beam alignment was performed in three steps, and collimators and other components were arranged to maintain the uniformity of the mean air kerma rate within ${\pm}2.5%$ at the effective beam diameter of 28 cm. The beam quality was verified by using half-value layer measurement methods specified by American National Standard Institute (ANSI) N13.11-2009 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-4037. For each of the nine beams than can be generated by the new X-ray irradiation system, air kerma rates for X-ray fields of different beam qualifies were measured. The results showed that each air kerma rate and homogeneity coefficient of the first and second half-value layers were within ${\pm}5%$ of the recommended values in the standard documents. Conclusion: The results showed that the new X-ray irradiation system provides beam qualities that are as high as moderate beam qualities offered by National Institute of Standards and Technology in ANSI N13.11-2009 and those for narrow-spectrum series of ISO-4037.

  • 목 적 : 정위적체부방사선치료(Stereotatic body radiation therapy, SBRT)는 원발성 종양과 전이성 종양의 치료법으로 이용되어진다. SBRT는 높은 선량을 전달하기 때문에 MU(Monitor unit)의 증가로 치료시간이 길어지고 치료계획용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV) 주변의 정상장기를 효과적으로 보호할 수 있는 치료계획이 필요하다. 특히 다중표적의 경우 SBRT를 여러 번에 나누어 치료해야하거나 선량 겹침으로 인한 고 선량 영역(Hot spot)이 생길수도 있다. 본 연구는 다중표적 간암에서 TrueBeam STx(Varian, USA)의 무편평화여과기선질(Flattening filter free, FFF) beam을 이용한 용적변조회전치료(Volumetric modulated arc therapy, VMAT)의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 다중표적 간암의 SBRT를 시행하는 5명의 환자를 대상으로 TrueBeam STx의 10MV FFF beam을 이용한 VMAT과 15MV 편평화여과기선질(Flattening filter, FF) beam을 이용한 입체조형치료(conformal radiotherapy, CRT)계획을 세웠다. 두 치료계획을 비교하기 위하여 선량용적히스토그램(Dose Volume Histogram, DVH)을 이용하여 치료계획용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV), 간, 십이지장, 장, 식도, 척수에 들어가는 선량을 평가하고 전체 MU 값을 비교하였다. 또한 두 치료계획의 치료시간을 비교하기 위하여 Beam on time을 평가하였다. 결 과 : PTV에 대한 처방선량지수(Conformity Index, CI), 선량균질지수(Homogeneity index, HI), 처방선량포함지수(Paddick's Conformity Index, PCI)의 평균값은 VMAT에서 각각 $1.006{\pm}0.028$, $1.098{\pm}0.016$, $1.132{\pm}0.084$, CRT에서 $1.381{\pm}0.419$ $1.136{\pm}0.042$, $1.534{\pm}0.465$로 평가되었다. 정상장기에 대한 선량은 CRT에서 VMAT 보다 약 1.8배 높은 선량으로 평가되었다. 전체 MU값은 VMAT에서 약 1.3배 높게 평가되었고 VMAT과 CRT 두 치료계획의 평균 Beam on time은 각각 6.8분, 21.3분으로 평가되었다. 결 론 : 다중표적 간암의 정위적체부방사선치료에서 FFF Beam을 이용한 VMAT을 적용하면 선량 겹침 없이 다중표적을 한 번에 치료할 수 있으며 PTV의 선량포함을 만족하면서 주위의 정상장기를 더 효과적으로 보호할 수 있는 치료계획이 가능하다. 또한 FFF Beam의 높은 선량률(Dose rate)을 이용하여 치료시간을 단축시켜 치료 중 발생할 수 있는 오차를 감소시킬 수 있다.

  • Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and potential EDCs are mostly man-made, found in various materials such as pesticides, additives or contaminants in food, and personal care products. The high energy ionizing radiation has the ability to remove the EDCs with a very high degree of reliability and in a clean and efficient manner. The ionizing radiation interacts with EDCs both directly and indirectly. Direct interaction takes place with EDCs and the structure of EDCs is destroyed or changed. During indirect interaction, radiolysis products of water result in the formation of highly reactive intermediates which then react with the target molecules, culminating in structural changes. To confirm the radiation reduction of EDCs in industrial sludge, a pilot scale experiment up to 50 kGy of electron beam (EB) was conducted with samples from the textile dyeing industries. The experimental result showed the over 90% of reduction of Nonylphenol (NP) and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) at around 10 kGy of absorbed doses.

  • Half value layer(radiation energy) of $90^{\circ}$ scattered radiation from various radiation shielding materials was measured at 1 m distance from the central ray of the primary beam. Scattered radiation was measured from 100 to 200 kVp for 0-2.0mm Cu+1.0mm Al added filter in the primary beam for a deep therapeutic unit, the obtained results were as follows: 1. The ratio of scattered radiation to primary radiation was increased by using lighter filter. 2. The ratio of scattered radiation to primary radiation was decreased by using heavier filter. 3. The ratio of scattered radiation to primary radiation was independent of tube voltage. 4. The scattered radiation of high energy was produced, when the effective atomic number and density of shielding material were high.

  • Ground lean pork was irradiated by an electron beam or X-rays to compare the effects of two types of radiation generated by a linear accelerator on the quality of Bologna sausage as a model meat product. Raw ground lean pork was vacuum packaged at a thickness of 1.5 cm and irradiated at doses of 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 kGy by an electron beam (2.5 MeV) or X-rays (5 MeV). Solubility of myofibrillar proteins, bacterial counts, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values were determined for raw meat samples. Bologna sausage was manufactured using the irradiated lean pork, and total bacterial counts, TBARS values, and quality properties (color differences, cooking yield, texture, and palatability) were determined. Irradiation increased the solubility of myofibrillar proteins in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). Bacterial contamination of the raw meat was reduced as the absorbed dose increased, and the reduction was the same for both radiation types. Differences were observed only between irradiated and non-irradiated samples (p<0.05). X-ray irradiation may serve as an alternative to gamma irradiation and electron beam irradiation.

  • In this study, we fabricated the HDPE and ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ composites with PE-g-MA as a function of the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ nanopowder weight ratios. The electron beam irradiations on HDPE/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ composites were carried out over a range of absorbed doses from 20 to 200 kGy to make three-dimensional network structures. The mechanical properties were characterized using UTM for confirming the changes of the flexural strength and tensile strength. It was observed that the mechanical properties of HDPE were enhanced by the addition of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$. However, the strength of the 5 wt% ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ added composites decreased due to the nano-powder aggregation. The mechanical properties of composites were increased as increasing the electron beam irradiation up to 150 kGy. We believed that the electron beam irradiated HDPE/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ composites can be a good candidate for a variety of industrial applications.

  • Electron contamination due to the interaction between radiation beam and material was analyzed for the factors such as source-skin distance (SSD), field size, tray characteristics and position of filter, which can affect the surface dose in Cobalt teletherapy. Surface dose in open beam was more influenced by SSD with increasing field size. Relative surface charge (RSC) increased with the use of tray (solid, circular hole, slotted), compared with open beam, which is thought to be due to increased electron contamination of the tray. To reduce the surface dose, 0.4mm thick Lipowitz metal filter was used. Compared with open beam, RSC decreased by 8.8%, 11.3%, 13.3%, 16.6%, 19.3% and 21.7% for the field size of $5{\times}5$, $10{\times}10$, $15{\times}15$, $20{\times}20$, $25{\times}25$ and $30{\times}30cm^2$, respectively. On the contrary, use of Lipowitz metal filter increased RSC at 60cm or less SSD. Surface dose was effectively reduced with Lpowitz metal filter placed right below solid tray in Cobalt teletherapy.
