Abstract

Brachytherapy requires accurate dosimetry to ensure patient safety and treatment efficacy. The Reference Air Kerma Rate (RAKR) is a key parameter in the Treatment Planning System (TPS) that quantifies the strength of radioactive sources. This study aims to evaluate the conformity between RAKR values certified by the manufacturer and those measured using a Well-Type Ionisation Chamber at the Radiotherapy Sub-Installation of Central General Hospital Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah. Measurements were conducted from December 2023 to March 2024 using a SAGINOVA/ECKERT ZIEGLER brachytherapy unit. The RAKR values were obtained through electrometer readings, adjusted for air density, and compared to the manufacturer’s certification using established equations. The results were assessed using the ±3% tolerance threshold set by AAPM Report No. 46 (1994). The measured RAKR values consistently showed negative deviations from the certified values: -1.96 %, -2.69 %, -2.53 %, and -2.42 %, all within the acceptable ±3% limit. This supports the conformity and operational integrity of the device. These findings confirm that short-term RAKR measurements at the hospital align with certification values, ensuring reliable dose delivery for brachytherapy. Future research should investigate long-term calibration stability and the impact of environmental factors to refine quality assurance protocols.

Abstract

A study has been conducted to determine the Diagnostic Reference Level (DRL) in non-contrast and contrast chest CT scan examinations at Bali Mandara Hospital. The study was conducted at the Radiology Installation of Bali Mandara Hospital using dose reports from non-contrast and contrast chest CT Scan examinations with data obtained including age, gender, kV, mAs, slice thick, time rotation, Pitch, as patient information and protocols used in the examination and dose information in the form of CTDIvol and DLP. This study aims to determine the local DRL value against the national DRL value. The method used to determine the DRL value in this study is by collecting data in the form of recording and documenting the dose report of CT Scan examination patients, with the data for each examination being as many as 30. From the recorded data, the CTDIvol and DLP values are used to find the DRL value by sorting it from the smallest to the largest value and then calculating the 3rd quartile as a determinant of the local DRL. The interpolation method is also used to consider the position of the 3rd quartile so that it is at a decimal value. From the research results, the CTDIvol value for non-contrast thorax examination was 6.43 mGy, and the DLP value was 293.08 mGy.cm. Meanwhile, in contrast to the thorax examination, the CTDIvol value was 6.14 mGy, and the DLP value was 852.57 mGy.cm. Furthermore, a statistical analysis was carried out in the form of a one-way t-test using SPSS software, which was used to compare the DRL values of both CTDIvol and DLP non-contrast and contrast thorax examinations with the standard values set by BAPETEN 2021 as a reference used in Indonesia. Based on the results of the analysis with a one-way t-test, it can be seen that the DRL values for non-contrast thorax examinations (DRL CTDIvol and DLP) and contrast examinations (DRL CTDIvol) do not exceed the standards set by BAPETEN. However, in the contrast thorax CT Scan examination, the DRL DLP value exceeded the standard value set by BAPETEN, so dose optimization was needed by re-evaluating the protocol implemented at Bali Mandara Hospital.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of death among women in Indonesia, with 36,964 new cases reported in 2022. Brachytherapy is a key component in treating advanced-stage cervical cancer, where dose optimization is critical to maximize the target dose (HRCTV) and minimize exposure to organs at risk. Graphical Optimization (GrO) and Inverse Planning (IP) techniques are commonly used, but comparative studies using Co-60 sources remain limited. Previous studies have largely used Ir‑192, so this study explores the comparison of GrO versus IP using Co‑60, which has not been widely studied in Indonesia. Co‑60 was chosen because it provides a dose distribution comparable to Ir‑192, has a longer half‑life reducing the frequency of source replacements and maintenance costs and has been reported to shorten patient treatment time by approximately 10%. This study compared the dose distribution of both techniques in 30 brachytherapy patients treated with a Co-60 source at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital. Data were analyzed using the Sagiplan 2.2.1 Treatment Planning System (TPS) following the TG-43 protocol. Evaluations included D90 HRCTV, COIN, DHI, bladder D2cc, and rectum D2cc based on ICRU Report 89 recommendations. MANOVA results (SPSS 29.0; significance < 0.05) showed that GrO’s D90 HRCTV (7.239 Gy ± 0.134 Gy) was significantly higher (sig = 0.006) than IP (7.155 Gy ± 0.093 Gy). GrO’s DHI (0.352 ± 0.043) was also superior (sig = 0.030), while COIN, bladder D2cc, and rectum D2cc showed no significant differences. Overall dose distribution for GrO differed significantly from IP (p = 0.011), though all parameters met ICRU standards. Conclusion: GrO excels in target coverage and homogeneity, while IP is equivalent in OAR protection. Both techniques are dosimetrically feasible, but GrO is more adaptive for complex anatomies despite requiring longer planning time.

Abstract

Research has been carried out on radiation dose rate analysis in the CT-SCAN area of the radiology room at RSU Mandara Bali. The data used in this research is quantitative data observed from the radiation rate from the CT-SCAN aircraft. This study aims to determine the radiation dose rate in the radiology area and its rationalization based on regulations regarding radiation NBD (dose limit values) that apply to occupational safety and health. The research data is the actual radiation dose rate determined from the dose rate and calibration factors. The results of data calculations show that the highest dose rates are respectively at T2, 30 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm (door) with values of 1.95, 0.94 and 0.05 μSv/year, while the lowest dose rates are respectively at T4, 30 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm (waiting room) with values of 0.08, 0.06 and 0.05 μSv/year. The research results show that the dose rate at each measurement point is still considered safe for radiation workers where the NBD received is still below 20 μSv/year, while the dose rate is classified as safe for the general public at measuring distances of 50 cm and 100 cm, where the NBD received is below 1 μSv/year assuming the community concerned acts as a patient or patient's family with an interest in the radiology room area.

Abstract

The research was carried out at the Radiotherapy Installation at Hospital Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Work with the aim of knowing the value of the neutron radiation dose rate at the maximum point after the irradiation is carried out and knowing the value of the neutron radiation dose rate to radiation workers based on the Dose Limit Value permitted by BAPETEN. The research was carried out by measuring the neutron radiation dose rate using a neutron surveymeter at 7 different points with a photon beam of 10 MV energy. At point A, the average value of the neutron radiation dose rate at the maximum point was 6618.87 ± 959.50 µSv/h, at point B it was 1586.99 ± 113.95 µSv/h, at point C it was 1599.90 ± 210.98 µSv/h, at point D it is 1236.83±113.94 µSv/h, at point E it is 297.48±41.79 µSv/h, at point F it is 23.69±3.14 µSv/h h and at point G of 0.54 ± 0.44 µSv/h. Then the value of the equivalent dose rate of neutron radiation at each point is obtained, namely, at point A it is 1.8 µSv/h, at point B 3.2 µSv/h, at point C 3.5 µSv/h, at point D 2 .3 µSv/h, at point E 2.3 µSv/h, at point F 2 µSv/h and at point G 1.9 µSv/h, then the equivalent dose rate value is compared with 1/2 NBD of radiation workers of 5 µSv /h, then the equivalent dose rate value is still below 1/2 of the NBD of radiation workers and the SPO that applies at the Radiotherapy Installation at Hospital Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah is indeed safe for radiation workers.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the potential risk of thoracic organ cancer in CT Scan examinations using the Size-Specific Effective Dose (SSED) method, considering the importance of accurate radiation dose measurement to minimize the risk of cancer due to radiation exposure. The analysis was conducted on 30 female patients and 30 male patients in the adult category (17 - 45 years) at the Radiology Installation of Prof. Dr. I G. N. G. Ngoerah Hospital, Denpasar, using a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary data. The results showed that the Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) and SSED values ​​in female patients were 6.51 ± 0.70 mGy and 2.95 ± 0.48 mSv, respectively, while in male patients they were 6.38 ± 0.49 mGy and 2.27 ± 0.26 mSv. The risk of cancer in female patients is estimated at 0.016% and in male patients it is 0.012%. The Anova test showed a significant difference between the dose values ​​of the SSDE and SSED methods, which was caused by SSED only considering the dose of organs covered in the CT Scan image. However, the t-test showed that the doses from both methods did not exceed the BAPETEN standard No. 8 of 2011, so that the thoracic CT Scan examination in this Installation is safe and feasible to use.

Abstract

The results of research that have been carried out, especially in the field of medical physics such as X-rays, have been widely utilized in the medical field, especially Radiology Units in Several General and Regional Hospitals. Thus, it is very important to be understood and known by the community, especially the community, in this case the students of SMA Negeri 2 Kuta. In 2022/2023, there are 507 male and 597 female students. Seeing these conditions, surveys and observations were carried out as a result, students had difficulty understanding physics because the physics subject matter was dense, memorized and mathematical. Seeing these results, it is necessary to carry out a new paradigm in physics learning. One of the more appropriate methods is to balance theory learning with field applications such as natural and artificial radiation measurements and applications in the field of medical physics. The results of natural radiation measurements in the classroom and outside the classroom were 0.605 ± 0.0024 and 0.182 ± 0.0008 mSv/year, respectively. The limit of the dosage rate allowed by BAPETEN is 1,000 mSv/year. Natural radiation identified in the classroom and outside the classroom is still declared safe
