ESTIMATION OF EFFECTIVE DOSE AND CANCER RISK OF LUMBAR SPINE CT PATIENTS USING DOSE LENGHT PRODUCT AND CONVERSION FACTORS: RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to estimate effective radiation dose and risk ratio induction of cancer for lumbar spine CT examination with computed tomography dose index (CTDI) and dose-length product (DLP) patient dose parameters

Small field output correction factors for 6-X and 6-X FFF beams: GAMOS Monte-Carlo study

We use Vinogradov's method to prove equidistribution of a spin symbolgoverning the $16$-rank of class groups of quadratic number fields$\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2p})$, where $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ is a prime

The Software with a Graphical User Interface for GAMOS: Basic Training and an Educational Tool for Medical Physicists

Introduction: It is necessary to have special experience to perform the Monte Carlo calculation, commonly used in medical physics and accepted as the gold standard. In this study, we developed software to teach basic steps to medical physicists who were inexperienced in the medical linear accelerator Monte Carlo simulation.Material and methods: For the design interface, a software called GamosLinacGUI was developed using Gnome Builder, Python, and GTK. The user, who wants to learn the basics of GAMOS and simulate a linear accelerator, can enter the values in the software, select some options and quickly create geometry and physics files.Results: For proof that the software generates the correct inputs for GAMOS simulation in the same conditions for the measurements and calculations. Required files for GAMOS have been created and tested and run the simulation accordingly. This software was tested with Centos Linux.Conclusions: GamosLinacGUI has been successfully developed, which creates the geometry and physics files required for the simulation with GAMOS as a training and learning tool
