Abstract

Fluoroscopy, also referred to as the C-Arm, is a direct imaging modality used in interventional radiology. It is commonly used, particularly in Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) for kidney stone removal. The process of kidney stone destruction typically spans from 45 to 60 minutes. Continuous exposure to the radiation can lead to an accumulation of radiation dosage, potentially causing harmful effects. Radiation shielding is one of the most important factors for radiation protection in obtaining a license to construct a radiation room. Radiation shielding requires a minimum thickness to prevent exposure to radiation from escaping the room and posing a risk to the public. Measurements were conducted within the ESWL facility situated at XYZ private hospital, encompassing both internal and external locations, spanning across a total of 11 designated measurement points. The calculations were performed in accordance with the guidelines stated in NCRP Report No.147. The result obtained were 1.665; 1.681; 1.686; 1.109; and 1.716 mm for lead material thickness and 223.8; 225.9; 226.4; 153.2; and 230.2 mm for concrete material thickness. The hospital walls were constructed using concrete with a thickness of 200 mm and were additionally covered with a 2 mm Pb coating. In conclusion, the lead installed meets NCRP standards, but the thickness of the concrete walls around the room still falls short of the requirements.

Abstract

This work aims to study the characteristics of photon beams through phase space file (PSF) analysis using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. 6 MV photon beams from the Varian Clinac iX were simulated using PRIMO software. The beam parameters were validated by evaluating the percentage depth dose and dose profile. A full PSF was scored at the downstream end of the linear accelerator (LINAC) upper and lower parts and analyzed to determine the beam fluence profile, energy fluence profile, angular distribution, and spectral distribution. The results show that within PSF 1, the photon beam has an average scattering angle of 10.74° and a mean energy of 1.18 MeV. In PSF 2, the average scattering angle decreases to 2.63° while the mean energy increases to 1.50 MeV. The field size variation at 20×20, 30×30, and 40×40 cm2 affects both the angular and spectral distribution of the photon beam. The photon beam in PSF 2 exhibits an average scattering angle of 4.56, 6.31, and 6.66°, with corresponding mean energy values of 1.40, 1.32, and 1.30 MeV, respectively. These findings show that as the field size increases, the photon beam scatters at a larger angle while the energy decreases.
