Abstract

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a targeted therapy for cancer. BNCT uses boron 10 as media to do targeted therapy, eliminating cancer cell without damaging the surrounding healthy cell. BNCT require support from body imaging to acquire information about the cancer inside patient’s body while the analysis instrumen is use to analyze any parameter relevant to the medication, mainly chemical component of the delivery agents on the therapy and development. Journal divided into 2 , which is imaging and analysis. The imaging also divided into 2 which is imaging that use radioactivity and imaging that doesn’t use radioactivity. Boron analysis group uses analytical instrumentation and methods to gain information about boron outside the bodies ( in sample cell and delivery agents). Body imaging concerned with detecting and gaining information inside the biological object (patient or experiment subject). Information may consist of data about cancer distribution, patient organt condition and boron concentration within biological object.

Abstract

Microdosimetry Analysis of a BNCT Treatment for Liver Cancer Based on PHITS Code Simulation. Cancer is a disease characterized by the growth and spread of abnormal cells that are not controlled. Liver cancer is in second position (788,000 deaths) as the cause of death after lung cancer. In resolving this chalenge, the BNCT method can be a solution. Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a therapeutic technique based on irradiation from neutrons to boron-borne cancer cells (for liver cancer using 10boronophenylalanine (10BPA)) by utilizing neutron capture interactions with Boron-10. This study aims to analyzed microdosimetry of a BNCT treatment for liver cancer in different concentration of boron using PHITS code.

Abstract

The development of cancer in the world is very high. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 1.69 million people die from cancer per year in the world, while the cases of cancer in Indonesia are also not much different. Some areas have a high prevalence of cancer, namely D.I Yogyakarta. Cancer has become a scourge for many people. There are many treatments available, such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Additionally, there is radiotherapy using neutron capture of boron-10 with energy 0.025 Ev. This treatment does not damage other tissue because the resulting particles such as He-4 and Lithium-7 have ranges that are a distance of 4.5-10 μm, so that the deposited energy is limited to the diameter of a single cell. The treatment is called Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). There are several BNCT facilities such as a reactor, radial piercing beam port, thermal column, and shielding. The function of shielding is to absorb the neutron and alpha radiation. The shielding is made using paraffin material that is excellent in absorbing neutron radiation. In addition to paraffin there are also other materials, such as lead, used as paraffin casing. In a shielding simulation using MCNPX software, the resulting dose rate of radiation exposure outside of the BNCT facility in vitro and vivo tests is equal to 6.5 μSv / h. The thickness of the shielding paraffin used is 40 cm, Pb casing 25 cm, and 5 cm soft tissue.

Abstract

Indonesia needs to provide a large enough source of energy for development purposes, not only to produce and distribute daily necessities, but also to build industries that improve the nation's competitiveness and the lives of the people. With so many people, Indonesia has the largest energy consumption of any country in the Southeast Asia region and is fifth in the Asia Pacific in primary energy consumption, after the countries of China, India, Japan and South Korea are expected to increasingly encourage Indonesia's energy needs in the future. In Indonesia the main energy source is the fossil fuel, a non-renewable energy source. With the large amount of energy demands in Indonesia, the use of fossil fuels as energy-generating materials is increasing, which results in the depletion of fuel. Besides that, use of fossil fuels in Indonesia produces carbon dioxide in the wild which can endanger the natural environment. From the problems that occur in Indonesia with the limitations and constraints in conventional energy sources, it has been found that the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is a viable alternative for providing electricity. The construction of the NPP would spur national industry development because various industries could be involved in the construction of nuclear power plants. One type of nuclear power plant, namely the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) has already been implemented in several countries with some success and has advantages that could be applied in Indonesia. It is expected that the presence of nuclear power plants in Indonesia would reduce the use of fossil fuels and increase clean and renewable energy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Covid-19 disease caused by the SARS CoV-2 virus has become an epidemic in Indonesia since President Joko Widodo first announced it in early March 2020. To establish a diagnosis, apart from examining throat swabs, sputum, and Broncho alveolar lavage, chest imaging is also needed. This study aims to report the results of ultrasound (USG) imaging techniques in helping to diagnose Covid-19 disease treated by RSPAW Salatiga. The research method chosen was descriptive-analytic case reports. The study results explained that based on the patient's chest ultrasound, bilateral pneumonia was found in the peripheral lung with pleural thickening following Covid-19 pneumonia, no pleural effusion, and no pericardial effusion.
