Texto completo da fonteCurrently the majority of radiotherapy treatments are done by irradiation with high energy photon beams. These beams are emitted by radioactive sources (of nuclides such as cobalt 60) or generated in electron linear accelerators. For dosimetric measurements on these beams, one of the most used techniques is the thermoluminescence (TL). For the correct use of the thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), it is necessary to know their dosimetric properties like, for example, the variation of their response with the energy of the radiation beam. The purpose of this study was to assess the energy response of various TL materials when irradiated with high energy photon beams. So, curves relating the TL response and absorbed dose to water were obtained for LiF:Mg, Ti (TLD-100), Brazilian natural fluorite, CaSO4:Dy, g2SiO4:Tb and Al2O3:C TLDs irradiated with gamma rays from a 60Co source and linear accelerator X ray beams with nominal accelerating potential of 6, 10, 15 and 18 MV. The study was done in a dose range similar to that used in standard fractionated radiotherapy treatments and the results show that under these conditions, there is no variation larger than 3% in the TL response as a function of photon energy. The relationship between the dose deposition in the TLD and the dose deposition in water in function of the photon energy was studied by Monte Carlo method (MC), using the PENELOPE code system, and the results were consistent with the experimental outcomes. The TLDs were also irradiated with thermal and epithermal neutrons and proved to be sensitive to them. However, the consistency of the experimental and MC results (which did not take into account the presence of neutrons), the study of the variation in TL relative sensitivity with the beam energy, and the TLD glow curve shape analysis lead to the conclusion that the influence on TL response due to neutron contamination in the therapeutic photon beams is negligible for all materials. The results indicate that for the range of doses and energies used routinely in radiotherapy, the LiF:Mg, Ti (TLD-100), Brazilian natural fluorite, CaSO4:Dy, Mg2SiO4:Tb and Al2O3:C TLDs can be used without applying any correction factors for the beam energy.

Texto completo da fonteNesse trabalho, inicialmente as técnicas de radioluminescência (RL) e termolumi- nescência (TL) são apresentadas. A radioluminescência é a luminescência imediata emitida por um material quando exposto à radiaçao ionizante. A termoluminescência é a luminescência emitida por um material previamente exposto à radiação quando este é aquecido. Conceitos de bandas de energia, defeitos em cristais e os diferentes processos de ionização que ocorrem na matéria quando exposta à radiação ionizante são brevemente discutidos a fim de apresentar os mecanismos envolvidos na RL e TL. A utilização das técnicas na caracterização de materiais e na dosimetria é reportada, justificando a importância do instrumento desenvolvido. As partes mecânicas/estruturais e uma descrição de cada componente do instrumento são descritos. O algoritmo implementado para controle do instrumento e aquisição de dados é também descrito. O desenvolvimento do instrumento possibilitou a geração de rampas de temperatura com uma boa performance, atingindo até 500 °C com variações de até 2 °C ao utilizar taxas de aquecimento entre 0.5 °C/s e 5 °C/s. Calibrações do espectrômetro óptico utilizado na aquisição da luminescência e do sistema de irradiação foram executadas. Por fim, testes de aquisição de espectros de RL e TL foram realizados. Os testes de RL foram realizados utilizando vários materiais cujos espectros de emissão são bem conhecidos pela literatura, a saber, óxido de alumínio dopado com carbono Al2O3:C , oxisulfeto de gadolínio dopado com térbio Gd2O2S:Tb , óxido de ítrio dopado com európio Y2O3:Eu e borato de cálcio dopado com disprósio CaB6O10:Dy. Para o teste dos espectros de TL, o Al2O3:C foi utilizado. Os resultados dos espectros de RL e TL mostraram concordância com a literatura, indicando que o instrumento desenvolvido é comparável a outros instrumentos em operação de outros grupos, tornando os nossos resultados confiáveis.

Texto completo da fonteBorate glasses containing modified oxides have been studied on account of their effective atomic number close to that of the human tissue, what makes them interesting materials for the development of the thermoluminescent dosimeters. The purpose of this work was to study the thermal and structure properties of the xCaB4O7-(100-x)CaB2O4 system with x ranging from 0 to 100 wt%. The undoped samples were previously studied in order to determine a composition that would present a better thermoluminescent response for the incluision of the Dy íon as dopant and Li as co-dopant, thus increasing its TL efficiency. By the melting/molding method, the glass-ceramic samples was determined by the X-ray difractometry and identified as a unique CaB2O4 phase. The glass-ceramic 20 CaB2O4 (wt%) composition presented the best TL response being doped with Dy and co-doped with Li for the study of the dosimetric properties. This study has shown a linear response within an interval of 5 to 70 minutes of exposure to the UV radiation and good reproducibility of the TL signal, thus proving to be a promising material for using in the personal and clinical dosimetry.

Texto completo da fonteThe aim of the present work is to obtain and characterize luminescent dosimeters made of magnesium doped aluminium oxide, for ionizing radiation dosimetry purposes. The material is produced by Pechini Method (US Patent 3.330.697, 1967), starting from a polymer that generates powder ceramic, after firing at predetermined temperatures. Dosimetric measurements were taken during heating cycles (Thermoluminescence) with gamma and X-rays irradiated samples. Due to physical properties of the crystal, light is emitted during heating, because of free carriers being released from trap centers and recombining with opposite sigh charges. Chemical analysis indicated the Mg2+ concentrations 0.47, 0.88, 1.32, 2.61 and 3.36 mol%; reactants masses and process parameters were adequate to obtain uniformity. From X-Ray Diffraction, samples calcinated at lower temperatures did not reach the properly structural phase. The gamma phase did not show dosimetric properties for the preferred spectra (UV/visible region). Calcinations at higher temperatures were necessary to obtain alpha phase, which exhibited TL emission. For doped sample, diffractograms indicated the occurrence of highly crystalline sample. TL glow curves showed high visible and UV emission, with peaks at 125, 200, 280, 365 and above 450°C. The lowest peak was faded within 24 hours after irradiation and those above 280°C could not be exactly determined due to peak overlapping. Nevertheless, the emission peak at 200°C showed itself a great achievement for the present work, because of its energy depth and dose response. For higher absorbed doses (above 100 Gy), the emission generated by deeper traps could be studied with more details: acceptable TL response and exponential growth were exhibited. The peak at 280 was not reported. Low energy dependence luminescence in observed for doses as high as 40 keV. This limitation is due to decreasing of photoelectric phenomena, which is responsible for charges trapping. Images obtained using Transmission Electron Microscopy detected surface layer in doped samples; such layer is composed by spinel (MgAl2O4). The presence of spinel layer increases recombination centers concentration, once luminescence enhancement was perceived for doped samples.

Texto completo da fonteIn the decades of 1960 and 1970, the first investigations of termoluminescentes dosimeters (TLD), specifically, the dosimetric peaks quickly revealed a surprising number of phenomena that could be directly related to the density of ionization. A little later, in the years 80 and 90 at the beginning of the year, seemingly disconnected radiation induced phenomena were discovered on other systems based on lithium fluoride (LiF). The last decade, however, has witnessed the emergence of several models, spearheaded through a deeper understanding of the underlying TL mechanisms as well as in modeling specifically developed for microdosimetric and explain phenomena of ionization density. Many applications in radiation oncology provide levels of radiation dose in excess of 1 Gy, however in diagnostic radiology are in the range of a few mGy, and very high levels of precision are necessary to promote the ideal treatment. This requires careful attention to the highly detailed measurement protocols, as well as the time-consuming calibration of all TLDs to correct the non-linearity of dose-response. These properties can vary from batch to batch, and can also be a function of exposure to radiation, heating and handling history. In this way, even with excellent advances in the studies of the TLD for the heat treatment and the ways of issuing TL curve analysis, it is necessary to continue studies in order to enable a better use of this technique in the clinic. A computerized analysis of the emission curve (CGCA computadorized glow curve analysis) was implemented using data from the WinREMS software of TL dosimeters that absorb and store energy from ionizing radiation, reissued in the form of photon in the visible ultraviolet. The light emitted is then detected by a photomultiplier and correlated to the absorbed dose received by the material. The emission peaks were adjusted by means of an algorithm in MATLAB program by adopting the model of first-order kinetics. The material tested was the LiF: Mg, Ti (lithium fluoride doped with magnesium and titanium) brand Harshaw and the quality of the fit was determined by a parameter called figure of merit (FOM- figure of merit). The smallest FOM obtained for the group of dosimeters was 1.04% and the highest was 9.79%. Also minimum detectable dose was evaluated, using the parameter that showed better performance, according to the homogeneity of the Group of dosimeters. The average value of minimum dose presented was 28 µGy. The results of reproducibility, index of variability of the detector (DVI-English, device variability index) was 14.01%, which can be explained by the high number of dosimeters in the batch. Then, with the decrease in the time of preparation of the dosimeter and the computerized analysis of the emission curve, the clinical use of the TLD becomes more viable, since there was no interference on sensitivity of the dosimeter. Although the reproducibility have been above expectations, indicated a single correction for each badge and the disposal of those who submit more discrepant values compared to the batch.

Texto completo da fonteAccording to the literature, the study of Barium Titanate (BTO) for dosimetry is unpublished yet, this material was chosen because it exhibits luminescent properties, demonstrated in emission spectra experiments. To make the BTO samples the chemical sol-gel technique was used. Samples of BTO Pure, doped and co-doped with different rare earths were made. All produced samples were calcinated with temperatures at 800, 1000 and 1200°C. The doping was performed with the following rare earths: Nd, Tb, Eu, Yb, Er, Pr, and some samples were co-doped with Tb / Eu and Yb / Er; in total were made thirty-one samples. In the study of weight reduction, a reduction, by half of the mass of raw material, was observed during the calcination process. In the TL analysis, at least one of the types (temperature) of calcinations provides TL peaks formation, except for the samples co-doped with Tb / Eu. The BTO: Eu and Tb provided the best TL response. The BTO: Tb and calcined at 1200°C showed TL peak at 90 to 200°C and the one doped with Eu (1mol%) and calcined at 1000°C supplied peaks at 110°C and 370°C. The minimum detectable dose to the TL peak at 110°C was 119 mGy and for TL peak at 370°C was 143 mGy. SEM analyzes showed that the micrographs of BTO samples doped with both Tb and Eu supplied porous surfaces, unlike the pure sample, that showed smoother surface. XRD analyzes indicated a tetragonal phase to pure sample and the one doped with Eu (1 mol%), both calcined at 1000°C.

Texto completo da fonteIn this work the thermoluminescent and photoluminescent properties (in the anti-Stokes process), and some other chemical and physical properties of KAlSi3O8 synthetic samples, doped with Mn or Gd, obtained by sol-gel method, were studied. The main goal of this study was to obtain a new material, with real possibility of application in ionizing radiation dosimetry as sensor element in luminescent dosimeters. The obtained samples were composed of powders with average particle size around 600 nm and they structures were composed of an amorphous matrix with presence of nanoparticles, observed only in the doped samples. The EPR results showed that the dopants incorporated in the matrix in the Mn2+ and Gd3+ valences, respectively. The TL glow curves exhibited a similar pattern for all the studied regions, composed of a main high-intensity and reproducible peak around 170 °C. The OSL shine-down curves for the undoped and Mn doped samples exhibited a total decay of luminescence for 40 s of stimulation centered at 470 nm; on the other hand, Gd doped sample exhibited an quick OSL decay (approximately 71.4 % of the initial intensity), for the first 40 s of stimulation, followed by a slower and more persistent decay, which clearly indicates the presence of two decay components. Mn doped samples showed the highest TL emission around 570 nm, being more efficient for the TL studies in the VIS, while the Gd doped samples exhibited the highest emission at 470 nm; however, due to the obtained curve pattern (with an apparent single peak), they had shown more efficient results for the applications in the UV. The samples doped with 0.5 and 8 mol% of Mn and Gd, respectively, showed the highest luminescent response improvement for OSL and TL. Energetic dependence on different X-rays energies study showed that the dopants changed the obtained response pattern. The Mn doped sample exhibited a decrease in luminescent response, while the Gd and the undoped samples do not show a pattern of decrease or increase in luminescence. The calibration curves were fitted by straight lines with high reliability degree (R2 near to 1), and the lowest detectable doses were between 20 and 60 mGy. All the samples exhibited considerable losses in luminescent intensity with the time after irradiation (about 80% for the firsts 10 days). From the results it was concluded that the studied materials are more applicable to real time than to passive TLD dosimetry, due to their high luminescent response. However, studies about previous heating treatment could make them feasible for the last application. The use of these materials in environmental dosimetry is suggested due to the obtained Z values, which are closer to those which form rocks and sediments.

Texto completo da fonteThe ionizing radiation is widely used in several areas in industry and medicine. In the field of medicine, the ionizing radiation is used both for therapeutic purposes and for diagnostic purposes, thus covering a wide range of doses of different types of radiation. To certify that the goal of practice is being achieved detailed studies of detectors and devices that respond to different types of radiation are required. In this work, a study of dosimetric characteristics of BeO samples was performed in standard beams of conventional diagnostic radiology, mammography and computed tomography, using the techniques of thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), and proposing a suitable system for its use in beam dosimetry. The main results obtained were: high sensitivity to white light during the irradiation, good reproducibility of responses TL and OSL (coefficients of variation of less than 5%), and kinetics parameters corresponding to the values obtained in all of the tested methods, without fading within the observed period for both techniques. The dosimetric characteristics obtained in this work show the possibility of application of BeO samples for dosimetry of X radiation, considering the tested dose interval, by the TL and OSL techniques. Thus, the BeO samples presented potential use for dosimetry of conventional diagnostic radiology, mammography and computed tomography beams.

Texto completo da fonteMonocristais de LaAlO3 crescidos pelo método hidrotérmico e dopados com íons trivalentes opticamente ativos foram investigados para propósitos de dosimetria termoluminescente e fotoluminescente, para campos de radiação gama e ultravioleta. Foram crescidos quatro tipos de cristais com dopagens únicas, ou seja La0,99AlO3:Ce0,01, La0,95:AlO3:Ce0,05, La0,99AlO3:Eu0,01 e La0,99AlO3:Bi0,01 e ainda um cristal co-dopado com La0,94AlO3:Ce0,05-Dy0,01. As amostras de La0,99AlO3:Eu0,01 apresentaram uma boa resposta termoluminescente para radiação gama, com resposta linear no intervalo de dose estudado (0,1 a 10 mGy). A sensibilidade TL foi um pouco menor que a do TLD-100, dosímetro termoluminescente comercial mais utilizado no mundo. As curvas de emissão possuem dois picos centrados em 160C e 189 C, respectivamente. Na investigação com campos de radiação ultravioleta, os cristais co-dopados La0,94AlO3:Ce0,05-Dy0,01 apresentaram uma excelente sensibilidade termoluminescente. A relação entre a resposta TL versus irradiância espectral mostrou ser linear no intervalo de 0,042 a 147,60 mJ.cm-2. Dos quatro picos de emissão identificados, o que possui emissão em 151,8C pode ser sensitizado com exposições superiores a 146,8 mJ.cm-2, aumentando a sua intensidade em aproximadamente 19 vezes. No aparato experimental utilizado, uma exposição do LaAlO3 à lâmpada UV de apenas 8 watts, durante cinco segundos, fornece o mesmo sinal TL emitido por um TLD-100 irradiado com 10 mGy de radiação gama. A investigação sobre a fotoluminescência revelou que os cristais de La0,99AlO3:Eu0,01 apresentam picos de emissão em 594,0 e 620,3 nm, quando excitados com um laser de 405 nm. O estudo demonstrou que estes picos são provavelmente devidos à radiofotoluminescência induzida por radiação UV.

Texto completo da fonteOperational quantities have been implemented to be applied in individual and area routine monitoring against external radiation exposure. This procedure is based on the use of an ideal combination of thermoluminescent detectors inside a monitor: two pellets of CaF2, one covered by a lead filter of (0,50 ± 0,05) mm and another one without filter and one TLD-100 without filter too. The operational quantities studied for area monitoring are the ambient and directional dose equivalent, H*(10) and H(10,), respectively and for individual monitoring, the personal dose equivalent, Hp(10). To evaluate the personal dose equivalent, all the experiments were performed irradiating the monitor on a slab water phantom made of PMMA walls with outer dimensions 30x30x15 cm, (a substitute of ICRU sphere four-element tissue phantom) completely full of water. Area monitors were irradiated in free air without any phantom. In general, an operational quantity H is determined from the basic physical quantity kerma free-in-air by means of conversion coefficients. The blind performance testing of monitors was performed after type testing, including analysis of the linearity of the response with the dose, the angular and energy dependence. The results of these investigations agree with the values recommended by international organisations within 95 % of confidence level. The ratios (H(10)evaluated/H(10)nominal ± deviation) obtained for ambient and personal dose equivalente are respectively (1,02 ± 0,11) and (0,97 ± 0,25), with the monitor above quoted. The error was estimated with the method of t-student, considering 95 % confidence level.

Texto completo da fonteIn the medical field, the ionizing radiation is used both for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, in a wide range of radiation doses. In order to ensure that the objective is achieved in practice, detailed studies of detectors and devices in different types of radiations beams are necessary. In this work a dosimetric characterization of BeO samples was performed using the techniques of thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) by a comparision of their response for alpha, beta and X radiations and the establishment of an appropriated system for use in monitoring of these radiations beams. The main results are: the high sensitivity to beta radiation for both techniques, good reproducibility of TL and OSL response (coefficients of variation lower than 5%), maximum energy dependence of the X radiation of 28% for the TL technique, and only 7% for the OSL technique, whithin the studied energy range. The dosimetric characteristics obtained in this work show the possibility of applying BeO samples to dosimetry of alpha, beta and X radiations, considering the studied dose ranges, using the TL and OSL techniques. From the results obtained, the samples of BeO showed their potential use for beam dosimetry in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy.

Texto completo da fonteIn the present days the usage of ionizing radiation from several different sources is spread all over the world. The measurement of the absorbed energy from these radiations became a very important task, mainly when the dose range is considered being in a very high level. These high energies of radiation are associated with particles accelerators, nuclear reactors and industrial irradiators, for example. This work is concerned for measuring high-doses of gamma radiation, electron beams and proton beams using two varieties of a natural silicate (aqua-marine and goshenite) and measuring effects of high-fluence neutrons using LiF: Mg, Cu, P (MCP) detectors. Thermoluminescence was employed to measure the absorbed dose for irradiations with gamma rays ranging from 100 kGy up to 2000 kGy for aquamarine and from 600 kGy and 2000 kGy for goshenite. The TL intensity reaches maximum at 250 kGy in aquamarine and at 1234 kGy for goshenite; this means that for doses larger than 250 kGy in aquamarine and 1234 kGy in goshenite the TL intensity drops. However, the descending part can be used in very high dose dosimetry. Furthermore, has been observed in this study that starting with aquamarine irradiated with 250 kGy and goshenite with 1234 kGy, the subsequent irradiation with doses from low to 400-500 Gy produces a regularly decreasing TL intensity, so that it can be used in radiation dosimetry from low to 400-500 Gy doses. For proton beams, goshenite were used. The beam charge ranges from 20 a 216 μC. For electron beams small pressed pellets of aquamarine were used. The dose ranges from 10 kGy to 70 kGy. The epithermal neutron irradiation was performed at IEA-R1 research reactor at IPEN and MCP-LiF detectors were used to measure the absorbed dose. A method called UHTR (Ultra High Temperature Ratio) was employed for calculating the amount of energy absorbed by the dosimeter. The fluence of epithermal neutrons ranges from 1014 a 1017 n/cm².

Texto completo da fonteRemarkable properties of synthetic diamond (human soft tissue equivalence, chemical stability, non-toxicity) make this material suitable for medical application as thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD). This work highlights the interest of this material as radiotherapy TLD. In the first stage of this work, we looked after thermoluminescent (TL) and dosimetric properties of polycristalline diamond made by Chemically Vapor Deposited (CVD) synthesis. Dosimetric characteristics are satisfactory as TLD for medical application. Luminescence thermal quenching on diamond has been investigated. This phenomenon leads to a decrease of dosimetric TL peak sensitivity when the heating rate increases. The second part of this work analyses the use of synthetic diamond as TLD in radiotherapy. Dose profiles, depth dose distributions and the cartography of an electron beam obtained with our samples are in very good agreement with results from an ionisation chamber. It is clearly shown that CVD) diamond is of interest to check beams of treatment accelerators. The use of these samples in a control of treatment with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy underlines good response of synthetic diamond in high dose gradient areas. These results indicate that CVD diamond is a promising material for radiotherapy dosimetry

Texto completo da fonteDue to the lack of a primary standard laboratory at the Latin America, for the calibration and dosimetry of beta radiation sources, it was decided to establish the Böhm extrapolation chamber at the Calibration Laboratory (LCI) at IPEN as a primary standard. As a main objective of this work, the Böhm extrapolation chamber was characterized in relation to its response in beta radiation secondary standard beams of 90Sr+90Y sources, using two different entrance windows: aluminized Mylar and graphited Hostaphan, and using two methods of determination of absorbed dose rates, to verify its performance in each material. Although it is the most adequate instrument for the calibration of beta radiation detectors and sources, the extrapolation chamber should only be used at calibration laboratories, and not in quality control programs, because it weights 7 kg, and it is expensive. Thus, it is important to have systems considered work standards and alternative methods to replace the extrapolation chamber in measurements performed outside laboratories, such as in hospitals and clinics. For this reason, three parallel plate ionization chambers were characterized, with the objective to verify the possibility of their use as work standard systems, and different dosimetric materials were also studied, in beta radiation fields, using the thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) phenomena, as alternative methods for the calibration of beta radiation sources. The development of a dosimetric postal system for the calibration of 90Sr+90Y clinical applicators was included in this objective. The results obtained using the Böhm extrapolation chamber allowed its establishment as a primary standard system at the calibration of 90Sr+90Y sources, because it was possible to determine the absorbed dose rates in air and in the tissue, at null depth and 0.07 mm using the chamber with the two different entrance windows. The characterization of the three parallel plate ionization chambers showed that they can be used in quality control programs of beta radiation sources, because their responses were adequate to this purpose. The dosimetric materials were tested in relation to their TL and OSL response, and their use showed also to be adequate in beta radiation fields. The dosimetric postal system, using TL dosimeters, was tested in hospitals, and afterwards, it was sent to a laboratory, by conventional mail, with TL and OSL detectors, and the results of the calibration of the clinical applicators was adequate.

Texto completo da fonteIn vivo dosimetry is the ultimate check of the actual dose delivered to an individual patient and has become a procedure actually necessary due to increasing complexity and sophistication of radiotherapy techniques. The purpose of the present work was to present, verify and evaluate some basic, practical and viable procedures for the implementation of in vivo dosimetry with thermoluminescent dosimeters for patient dose verification at a radiotherapy service. For the setting up of the thermoluminescent dosimetric system, several tests and measurements were carried out including the initialisation procedure, the determination of the batch homogeneity, the determination of individual correction factor of each dosimeter, the determination of linearity range of the system and its calibration coefficients. Anthropomorphic phantom measurements were taken to ensure that the methods are satisfactory before they are used for patients measurements. Patient dose measurements were carried out in a prostate cancer treatment. The proposed methodology can be used as a part of a quality assurance program in a radiotherapy service.

Texto completo da fonteThe paleodosimetric dating methods allow to obtain the age of some mineral materials which behave as natural dosimeters, the age being derived as the ratio of the dose accumulated from the dated event and the natural dose rate to which the sample was subjected.. The determination of the dose rate is usually based on simple models which only allow explicit calculations, but these models reproduce very imperfectly the diversity of situations encountered. Computer modeling allows to represent more complex and more realistic models, which lead to numerically simulate the dose rate. In this work, the toolbox Geant4, allowing to simulate particle-matter interactions by the Monte-Carlo method, was used to create complex models , as well as modeling tools accessible and adaptable to different types of samples and dosimetric situations. Simulations were first made with basic models in order to study the origin of dose rate variations in sediments, highlighting the limits of the simple models commonly used. This information was used to guide the development of modeling tools based on the Geant4 codes, and also to specify the protocols of samples analysis for gathering the data needed for numerical simulations. The DosiVox software allows to easily model a wide variety of samples through a voxelised representation of the object and its environment, and to simulate the radioactivity for calculating the spatial distribution of the dose rate. It was developed with a view of accessibility and current use. Comparisons with dosimetric situations previously studied or measured showed the relevance of the modelings, and the possibilities of this computer tool are exposed through a series of examples and applications. The characterization of the beta dose rate distribution in heterogeneous sediment is one of the most complex problems to be treated. In addition to a study aims at assessing the potential of DosiVox to consider these situations, the DosiSed software was developed specifically for modeling poly-mineral sets of grains. This tool was used to study the heterogeneity of the dose rate in real samples and allowed to include some of the results in a dating problematic

Texto completo da fonteCalcium sulphate activated with cerium IV and europium III using the free-flow polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon®) as bonder were produced by the stamping method, developed by the collaboration of Tecnoflon industries, from crystals growth according to a new variation of the slow evaporation method, also described in this study, with Eu3+ and Ce4+ concentrations of respectively 0.15 mol% and 0.16 mol% in the precursory acid solution. The developed personal dosimeter consist of five detectors adhered to a 30 x 48 mm polyvinyl chloride (PVC) card 95% mat to light in the infrared to ultraviolet wavelengths, identical to the access cards used by IPEN staff, by a 10 x 35 mm adhesive strip of the same material and it passed the acceptance tests required by Brazilian national regulatory committee for appliance in individual monitoring of external exposure services. The own detector is considered a dosimeter as far as clinical dosimetry is concerned and it passed the acceptance tests suggested by the International Atomic Energy Agency in the Technical Report Series Nº 398, Absorbed Dose Determination in External Beam Radiotherapy: An International Code of Practice for Dosimetry based on Standards of Absorbed Dose to Water, [TRS-398, IAEA, 2000] adopted as the dosimetry protocol by most hospitals. Hence, the developed dosimeters can be applied in the individual monitoring for external exposure and in the clinical dosimetry, having the radiation type and energy differentiation and the cost reduction as the key advantages over the currently used thermoluminescent dosimeters in such applications.

Texto completo da fonteThe Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is an advance technique of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). This progress is due to the continuous gantry rotation with the radiation beam modulation providing lower time of the patient treatment. This research aimed the verification of the isodose curves in a simulation of a vertebra treatment with spinal cord protection using the thermoluminescent (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry techniques and theLiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100), CaSO4:Dy and Al2O3:C dosimeters and LiF:Mg,Ti microdosimeters (TLD-100). The dosimeters were characterized using PMMA plates of 30x30x30 cm3 and different thickness. All irradiations were done using Truebeam STx linear accelerator of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, with 6 MV photons beam. After the dosimeter characterization, they were irradiated according the specific planning simulation and using a PMMA phantom developed to VMAT measurements. This irradiation aimed to verify the isodose curves of the treatment simulation using the two dosimetry techniques. All types of dosimeters showed satisfactory results to determine the dose distribution but analysing the complexity of the isodose curves and the proximity of them, the LiF:Mg,Ti microdosimeter showed the most appropriate for use due to its small dimensions. Regarding the best technique, as both technique showed satisfactory results, the TL technique presents less complex to be used because the most of the radiotherapy departments already have a TL laboratory. The OSL technique requires more care and greater investment in the hospital.

Texto completo da fonteIn this work we present the evaluation of the ambient gamma dose rates and the concentration of 222Rn in the air of 16 rooms of radiotherapy centers and 15 places of seven subway stations in the city of São Paulo. The places included in this study were indoor places with continuous permanence of workers. The deepest working places of the subway stations in lines 1, 2 and 3 and working rooms in radiotherapy centers had been considered. The measurements were based on the exposition of two types of passive detectors: TL (LiF:Mg, Cu, P) and SSNTD (LR-115 II) during a period of 5 months, from Nov.-2003 to Mar.-2004. In the determination of the concentration of 222Rn a monitor supporting the SSNTD was used, which prevents the entrance of radon progeny in the volume of detection. It was calibrated against a monitor NRPB/SSI in environments with and without forced ventilation. Besides the TL measurements, gamma dose rates were evaluated in situ with Geiger Müller counter at the end of expositions. The results show that in the studied workplaces, characterized as low ventilation rooms, the average values of the concentration of the 222Rn gas are higher than reported worldwide for domestic environments and other of indoor workplaces. The average values of radon concentration in the subway stations and radiotherapy centers were 0,81 kBq/m3 and 0,66 kBq/m3 respectively and standard deviations of 0,04 and 0,08 kBq/m3. High values were expected but not so elevated. These values would be in the range of intervention defined by ICRP, for 40 hours of work per week (500 to 1500 Bq/m3). The impossibility of testing the entrance of thoron (220Rn) in the used monitor suggests the possibility that part of this concentration would be thoron, that does not contribute to the effective dose in the same way as 222Rn. Additionally, the gamma dose rates were similar in all the studied places, with an average value of 220 nGy/h, standard deviation of 31 nGy/h, value that is in the highest group of values measured in other indoor places in the city of São Paulo. Both the gamma dose rate and the concentration of 222Rn in each environment presented homogeneous values, due to similar characteristics of the places. As the gamma dose rates are not especially high, there is a strong indication that low air exchange with the exterior is the main cause for the high values obtained for the radon concentration.

Texto completo da fonteThermoluminescent detectors (TLD-700) have been investigated for absorbed dose measurements in a p(66)/Be neutron therapy beam at the National Accelerator Centre. Chips were selected based on their reproducibility and chip individual neutron calibration factors were derived. The dose non-linearity was determined in peak 5 and peak 6 and dose non-linearity corrections were performed. The sensitivity of TLD-700 chips with depth and off-axis distance was determined. In-vivo dose measurements were performed on seven patients (9 fields). In the entrance in-vivo dose measurements, a maximal deviation of 3.2 % was detected and a systematic difference of 1.7 % was observed. On the exit side, a maximal deviation of -7.3 % was detected and a systematic difference of -5.1 % was observed. The glow curve peak 6/5 ratio was investigated and found to correlate with the qualitative variations of the average LET in the neutron beam.

Texto completo da fonteThe spodumene (LiAlSi2O6 - LAS) is a silicate that has shown good results for high-dose dosimetry for gamma rays. This silicate may be obtained naturally or synthetically. The synthetic spodumene has been produced by solid state reaction, whose difficulty arises from the need to employ high temperatures. This paper aims to produce LAS through two different production routes: the proteic sol-gel and Pechini methods. The material produced was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TGA) in order to evaluate the structural properties of the material, as well as possible changes in physical or chemical properties depending on the temperature. It was found by XRD and Rietveld refinement was possible to obtain LAS B-spodumene phase by both methods. The thermal analysis showed that the material for both methods suffer considerable loss of weight in the temperature range 20-600 °C. Through thermoluminescent measures, one can observe that the LAS produced by both methods shows thermoluminescent peaks from beta irradiation at a dose of 1 Gy, thus allowing its application dosimetry. It can be concluded therefore that there is the possibility of producing them in large numbers at reduced cost and environmental impact, being viable in dosimetry. It also follows that the sol-gel protein appeared to be the best way to produce the LAS compared with other routes used, such as solid state synthesis or devitrification.
O espodumênio (LiAlSi2O6 LAS) é um silicato que tem demonstrado bons resultados para dosimetria de altas doses para raios gama. Esse silicato pode ser obtido de forma natural ou sintética. O espodumênio sintético tem sido produzido por reação do estado sólido, cuja dificuldade provém da necessidade de se empregar altas temperaturas. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de produzir o LAS por meio de duas rotas de produção diferentes: a sol-gel proteica e método Pechini. O material produzido foi caracterizado através da difração de raios X (DRX), análises térmica diferencial (DTA) e termogravimétrica (TGA) com o intuito de avaliar as propriedades estruturais do material, bem como as possíveis mudanças de propriedades físicas ou químicas em função da temperatura. Verificou-se através da DRX e do refinamento Rietveld que foi possível se obter LAS na fase B-espodumênio por ambos os métodos. As análises térmicas mostraram que o material, por ambos os métodos, sofre perda considerável de massa no intervalo de temperatura de 20 a 600 °C. Através de medidas termoluminescentes, pode-se observar que o LAS produzido por ambos os métodos apresenta picos termoluminescentes a partir de irradiação beta com dose de 1 Gy, possibilitando sua aplicação dosimétrica. Pode-se concluir, assim, que há possibilidade de produção do LAS em larga escala a um custo e impacto ambiental reduzidos, sendo viável sua utilização em dosimetria. Também se conclui que o método sol-gel proteico se apresentou como sendo a melhor forma de produzir o LAS em comparação com outras rotas utilizadas, tais como síntese de estado sólido ou desvitrificação.

Texto completo da fonteMicro PET/CT scanner is an essential tool generally used for small animal molecular imaging. Fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose is the most widely used radioisotope in this technique. The present study aimed to evaluate the radiation levels in a micro PET/CT research laboratory of the Radiopharmacy Center at IPEN-CNEN / SP, in order to accomplish both national standards and international recommendations. The radioprotection team has classified the laboratory as supervised area; even this laboratory does not require the adoption of specific measures for protection and safety, should be done regular re-evaluation of the conditions of occupational exposures. Workplace monitoring and individual control assessment were carried out to ensure the radiological protection of all workers directly involved in handling the scanner. Initially, there was conducted a radiometric survey, as well as measurements of the external radiation level in the workplace and its surroundings. To achieve this goal, there were placed nine thermoluminescent dosimeters of CaSO4:Dy in preselected locations. Monthly evaluations of the occupationally exposed individuals were carried out through the use of TL dosimeters, ported in the workers´ chest. Moreover, whole body measurements were performed every six months. The study period was about two-years which started in April 2014. All tests to evaluate micro PET/CT performance were based on the standard protocol of the equipment in accordance with the standard developed by the Animal PET Standard Task Force. Present study\'s results demonstrated that the ambient radiation levels (ambient and effective estimated radiation dose), as well as the effective shielding equipment are both adequate. This study emphasizes that it is essential to strictly follow the principles of radioprotection in workplace, whenever researches involve radioactive unsealed sources.

A radiação ionizante é amplamente utilizada em diversas áreas na indústria e na medicina. No campo da medicina, a radiação ionizante é utilizada tanto para fins terapêuticos como para fins diagnósticos, abrangendo assim um grande intervalo de doses de diferentes tipos de radiações. Para certificar que a finalidade da prática esteja sendo alcançada, são necessários estudos detalhados de detectores e dispositivos que atendam aos diferentes tipos de radiações. Neste trabalho foi realizado um estudo das características dosimétricas de amostras de BeO em feixes padronizados de radiodiagnóstico convencional, mamografia e tomografia computadorizada, utilizando as técnicas de termoluminescência (TL) e luminescência opticamente estimulada (OSL) e propondo um sistema adequado para sua utilização em dosimetria de feixes. Os principais resultados obtidos foram: alta sensibilidade à luz branca durante a irradiação, boa reprodutibilidade das respostas TL e OSL (coeficientes de variação inferiores a 5%), parâmetros cinéticos correspondentes aos valores obtidos em todos os métodos testados, sem fading dentro do período estudado para ambas as técnicas. As características dosimétricas obtidas neste trabalho mostram a possibilidade de aplicação das amostras de BeO em dosimetria da radiação X, considerando os intervalos de dose empregados, pelas técnicas de TL e OSL. Assim, as amostras de BeO apresentaram sua utilização potencial para dosimetria de feixes de radiodiagnóstico convencional, mamografia e tomografia computadorizada.
