Linear accelerator therapeutic dose-induced radioactivity dependence.

摘要

Dependence between therapeutic dose and activity induced in mammal bones is discussed. This activity leads to gamma ray emission registered by HPGe detector and scintilation probe. Presented results are focused on activation which occurs during emission of 15 and 20 MV photon beams. The purpose is to describe how therapeutic conditions (dose, time of irradiation) influence the induced radioactivity. Preliminary studies of decay rate, calculation of half-life and identification of isotopes involved in this dynamic process are given.
