  • Artigo IPEN-doc 28351
    New model for an epoxy-based brachytherapy source to be used in spinal cancer treatment
    2021 - SILVA, JOSE T.; SOUZA, CARLA D. de; ANGELOCCI, LUCAS V.; ROSERO, WILMMER A.A.; NOGUEIRA, BEATRIZ R.; CORREIA, RUANYTO W.; ZEITUNI, CARLOS A.; ROSTELATO, MARIA E.C.M.
    The present work described the cold fabrication of a P-32 radioactive source to be used in CNS cancer using epoxy resin. The epoxy plaque fabricated with Teflon mold presented better agreement. MCNP simulation evaluated the radiation dose. Special attention was given to factors that can impact dose distribution. Average dose was 16.44 ± 2.89% cGy/s. Differences of less than 0.01 cm in thickness within the plaque lead to differences of up to 12% in the dose rate.

    Monte Carlo simulation to assess free space and end-weld thickness variation effects on dose rate for a new Ir-192 brachytherapy source
    2021 - ANGELOCCI, LUCAS V.; SOUZA, CARLA D. de; PANTELIS, EVAGGELOS; NOGUEIRA, BEATRIZ R.; ZEITUNI, CARLOS A.; ROSTELATO, MARIA E.C.M.
    A new Iridium-192 seed for brachytherapy is under development. Specific dose rate contribution by two different factors were evaluated: the effect from movement of the core in the free space within the seed and the effect of the end-weld thickness variation. Both were investigated through use of the Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNP6 and an in-house routine programmed with MATLAB. Differences greater than 15% compared to results from the nominal seed were found near the source, indicating a significant dose variation.

    New core configuration for the fabrication of 125I radioactive sources for cancer treatment
    2020 - SOUZA, CARLA D. de; ZEITUNI, CARLOS A.; FEHER, ANSELMO; MOURA, JOÃO A.; COSTA, OSVALDO L. da; ANGELOCCI, LUCAS V.; ROSTELATO, MARIA E.C.M.
    In order to provide prostate brachytherapy treatment for more Brazilian men, IPEN is building a laboratory for the manufacture of radioactive sources. The new methodology for the production of iodine-125 seeds with yield 71.7% ± 5.3%. Points of importance were evaluated/discussed: photo-sensibility, reaction vial type, the substitution for iodine-131, pH, and solution volume. The surface was analyzed by FTIR and EDS. At the end, a Monte Carlo-MCNP6 simulation was performed to evaluate the TG-43 parameters.
