Abstract

Abstract Ozone (O₃) generated during LINAC operation can accumulate indoors and pose respiratory risks, yet many facilities lack continuous monitoring. We designed and validated a low-cost, electrochemical sensor platform—ZE25A-O₃ integrated with an Arduino Mega, on-board logging, and a Nextion HMI—for real-time surveillance in a LINAC suite. The sensor was calibrated at 24 °C and 40% RH against 0.5–1.5 ppm standards, yielding slope = 1.045, intercept = −0.04067 ppm, R² = 0.99984, and RMSE = 9.39 ppb, supporting reliable low-ppb quantification. Time series were aggregated into 30-min bins with centered 1-h rolling means to extract diurnal structure while suppressing short-term fluctuations. Field measurements showed a 20–30 ppb background with intermittent spikes exceeding 100 ppb (peaks ~150 ppb). A reproducible daily pattern emerged: late-morning minima (~20–21 ppb) followed by evening enhancement (~26–28 ppb), consistent with ventilation and operational schedule. Average conditions were below the Indonesian workplace limit of 100 ppb, but episodic exceedances motivate real-time alerts and ventilation management. This work demonstrates a practical approach for continuous exposure assessment and data-informed environmental control in radiotherapy facilities.

Abstract

This study investigates potential non-radiation hazards, specifically Ozone (O3) production, during Linear Accelerator (LINAC) electron mode radiotherapy. The research uses experimental measurements to determine Ozone concentration in the LINAC patient waiting room and control room. Measurements are taken assuming a ±2-hour delay in one working day, using 9 MeV and 12 MeV energy, 400 MU dose rate, and illumination angles of 0o, 90o, and 270o. Maximum Ozone concentrations in the LINAC patient waiting room and control room are found to be 6.6 ppb (12 MeV) and 8.3 ppb (12 MeV), respectively. These concentrations fall below the chemical threshold limit and are deemed safe for human exposure. Notably, potentially detectable Ozone levels are observed in the LINAC banker. Overall, this research highlights the importance of monitoring Ozone levels to ensure the safety of both patients and personnel in LINAC facilities.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the optimal bladder volume that can balance the dose distribution to the organs-at-risk (OARs), specifically the bladder and rectum, and to analyze the relationship between variations in bladder volume and the dose received by these two organs during high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Six bladder volume variations, namely empty, 100 cc, 150 cc, 200 cc, 250 cc, and 300 cc, were used to analyze the correlation between bladder volume and the radiation dose received by the bladder and rectum. An experimental approach was employed by observing the dose point distribution and the D2cc dose to both organs based on calculations from the Treatment Planning System (TPS), which were then compared with analytical calculations using a quadratic polynomial regression model via the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. In general, the bladder point dose and D2cc dose increased with increasing bladder volume; however, the rectal dose demonstrated very high stability (90-100 cGy). Based on the variations in bladder volume, the optimal volume was 100 cc, as it protects the bladder by minimizing dose distribution and stabilizes the dose to the rectum. The statistical analysis results showed that the quadratic regression model had a high goodness-of-fit to the experimental data, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.92.
