The 252Cf radioisotope and 241Am-Be are routinely compact and portable encapsulated neutron sources that have wide range of applications in laboratories, industries and medicine …
As a result of being hydrogenous moderators, several landmine detection methods based onnuclear techniques have been suggested in recent years. Because of elastic scattering and …
Purpose Although the dosimetric characterization of 60 Co BEBIG source can be found in several literature studies, the data sets show major discrepancies and the lack of uncertainty …
Personal safety issue is one of the major limitations in landmine detection by nuclear techniques. In this paper, the dose rate received by the operator of different hand-held landmine …
Uniformity of activation rate distribution through the human body is extremely important for in vivo analysis of the body elements by neutron activation method. Achieving uniformity can …
This study evaluates the impact of using non-reference fetal models on the fetal radiation dose from diagnostic radionuclide administration. The six-month pregnant phantoms including …
The aim of this paper was quantifying the uncertainties of dosimetry parameters and systematic factors of an in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) facility for neutron-irradiated …
Fasting-based dietary interventions have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies. They show efficacy in weight control, metabolic regulation, and gastrointestinal health. Growing …
Several land mine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested during the recent years. Neutron energy moderation, neutron-induced gamma emission, …
For radiotherapy in patients with left-sided breast cancer, the deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique has been introduced to reduce cardiac toxicity and lower the risk of mortality …
