    OLIVEIRA, M.V.L.; SAVI, M. ; ANDRADE, M.A.B.; VILLANI, D. ; POTIENS, M.P.A. ; BRANCO, H.S.; UBEDA, C.; MDLETSHE, S.. Attenuation properties of common 3D printed FFF plastics for mammographic applications. Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, v. 10, n. 1, p. 1-17, 2022. DOI: 10.15392/bjrs.v10i1.1732

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA) 3D printing filaments as materials for mammography phantom construction, comparing their attenuation properties at two different set-ups: at a Calibration Laboratory and directly to a mammography unit. The attenuation of 3D printed test phantoms of two types of common 3D printing Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) filaments (ABS and PLA) were characterized in comparison with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The measurements were carried out with standard IEC 61267 X-rays, using RQR 2-M and RQR 4-M beam qualities at the Instruments Calibration Laboratory, and then applied to a mammography unit, with measurements with 28 kV and 35 kV. Attenuation characteristics evaluated indicate the suitable equivalence of PLA to PMMA for 3D printing breast complex phantoms. The plastic materials used in this study suggest that the FFF technique may be suitable for mammography phantom development.

    NUNES, M.G. ; VILLANI, D. ; RODRIGUES, L.L. de C. . CaSO4:Dy and CaSO4:Ce,Eu intrinsic efficiencies dependence on ionizing radiation type and quality. In: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATIONS OF RADIATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, April 24-28, 2017, Vienna, Austria. Abstract... Vienna: IAEA, 2017. p. 428-428.

    Abstract: The dependence of a thermoluminescent (TL) dosimeter response to the type and quality of radiation is a key issue that is being tackled worldwide by the development of new dosimetric materials associated with this technique. In this context, the aim of the present work is to evaluate the intrinsic efficiency of CaSO4:Dy, considered as the standard material, and CaSO4:Ce,Eu, a newly developed TL material, for different ionizing radiation types and energies. To do so, a batch of 55 dosimeters of each material was selected according to their non-irradiated TL readout and intrinsic efficiency to the 60Co -radiation on air and electronic equilibrium conditions and then divided into eleven sets of five dosimeters, one of the sets being kept as the control set to evaluate the non-irradiated TL signal while the ten remaining sets were irradiated, again in air and electronic equilibrium conditions, with doses ranging from 0:1 mGy to 10 Gy in secondary standards 60Co and 137Cs - radiation sources, RQR, RQA and RQT ISO/IEC 61267 series and N ISO 4037 series X-ray beams, always including the reference quality for the radiation beam series, and tertiary standard collimated electron beams with effective energies from 4 MeV to 20 MeV. AThermo (Harshaw) 3500 thermoluminescent reader was used to evaluate TL readouts 24 h after the irradiation and the obtained glow curves were exported in the ASC format through WinREMS TL reader controller associated software. Individual peak intensity, integrated response, peak to peak intensity ratio, calibration curves and intrinsic efficiency, provided that all dosimeters are 0:8 mm thick pellets of 6:0 mm of diameter containing 16:67 mg of TL material, were calculated with the aid of SciLab 5.5.2 software, also used to graphically explore the behaviour of CaSO4:Dy and CaSO4:Ce,Eu intrinsic efficiencies with the radiation type or the radiation quality. As expected from literature, CaSO4:Dy intrinsic efficiency presented a dependence of up to 30% with radiation type or quality while CaSO4:Ce,Eu intrinsic efficiency varied by 200% with radiation quality. Despite this huge dependence, the CaSO4:Ce,Eu peak I to peak II intensity ratio remains stable with the radiation type and varies by 5% from one radiation type to another, so that this newly developed TL material can be used as a dosimeter capable of determining, in non-mixed radiation fields and after an adequate and rigorous calibration, both radiation type and quality besides the dose.

    Abstract: 3D printing techniques and materials have become widely available in the last couple of decades and remains a hot topic of study as new materials can lead to new applications. This study aims to evaluate the attenuation behaviour of GMASS over photon beams ranging from 29.7 up to 661.7keV, comparing with pure ABS and using theoretical data of pure lead as reference. It was used the transmission method to obtain experimental attenuation coefficients to all materials and theoretical data. HVL and TVL calculations were also performed. Results show that ABS+W has higher attenuation than ABS+Bi and pure ABS. Using the lead theoretical reference data it can be concluded that although ABS+Bi and ABS+W attenuates less than pure lead, the 3D printing filaments can be used to create shielding tolls depending on radiation energy and application.

    ALMEIDA, S.B. ; VILLANI, D. ; SAKURABA, R.K.; REZENDE, A.C.P.; CAMPOS, L.L. . Comparative study of the TL response of LiF:Mg,Ti and CaSO4:Dy in the clinical electron beams dosimetry applied to total skin irradiation (TSEB) treatments. Radiation Physics and Chemistry, v. 155, SI, p. 121-126, 2019. DOI: 10.1016/j.radphyschem.2018.05.025

    Abstract: The commissioning and quality assurance The Total Skin Electron Beam (TSEB) irradiation treatment is based on the AAPM's report 23, which describes the six-dual-field (Standford) technique, and the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (HIAE) follows this recommended guidance. The Dosimetric Materials Laboratory of the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN-LMD) has tradition in research related to thermoluminescent materials and its clinical applications. Thus, aiming to apply the LiF:Mg,Ti, the most common TLD material, and CaSO4:Dy + Teflon produced at IPEN as easy-to-use alternatives to electron beams dosimetry and its parameters applied to TSEB, this paper reports a comparative study of the TL responses of both materials to dose evaluation in TSEB treatments. The TL response of both materials was evaluated in several TSEB parameter tests such as clinical field homogeneity, Monitor Units (MU) calculation, absorbed doses over the reference line and throughout the surface of the skin in a treatment simulation using AldersonRando anthropomorphic phantom. Results show that the field homogeneity measurements remained within ± 8% acceptance limit from AAPM Report 23, little to no energy dependency over the range of 4 o 9 MeV electron beams and, for clinical measurements and MU calculations, both TLDs present compatible results and can be used as alternative tools in TSEB dosimetry.

    Abstract: The Total Skin Electron Beam (TSEB) therapy is a technique that aims to provide skin surface homogeneous absorbed dose in order to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, both for curative and palliative purposes with electron beams penetrating a few millimeters into the skin, reaching the affected parts without affecting internal organs. In vivo dosimetry has become an important role for the treatment of total skin irradiation within a rigorous quality assurance. The luminescent dosimeters, such as TLDs and OSLDs, have proven to be very useful for the verification of the dose distribution and prescribed for the patient as the dose may differ from place to place due to patient body geometry, overlapping of structures and asymmetries of the radiation field. Other routine in vivo dosimetry tool is the DIODEs and they as well help validating radiation therapy dosimetry. Al2O3:C OSL pellets manufactured and marketed by REXON Components and TLD Systems have already been characterized for TSEB applications. The aim of this work is to compare the performance of Al2O3:C OSL pellets from REXON to in vivo TSEB dosimetry with silicon DIODEs QEDTM detectors from Sun Nuclear (EUA) using an anthropometric phantom. Dosimeters and DIODEs were previously characterized for 6 MeV HDTSe- electron beams and then placed over an Anderson Rando® anthropomorphic phantom, evaluating the body dose distribution. The reference point of measurement was the umbiculous as recommended by formalism. The results showed that the Al2O3:C OSL pellets presented acceptable results, but some greater variation of the response in relation to silicon DIODEs were found due to its considerable rotational dependency.

    VILLANI, D. ; SAVI, M. ; RODRIGUES JUNIOR, O. ; CAMPOS, L.L. . Development of a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printed neck-thyroid phantom for multidisciplinary purposes. In: EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF MEDICAL PHYSICS, 4th, August 17-20, 2022, Dublin, Ireland. Abstract... 2022.

    Abstract: Purpose: Phantoms, devices that represent the human body, have been used in the fields of medical physics, physics and biomedical engineering since the beginning. The use of 3D printing and filaments commonly found commercially for the development of phantoms is being investigated recently. The application of this technique for the development of low-cost simulators requires a complex study of the interaction of printed materials with different types and qualities of radiation, as well as the characterization of print configurations. By making these measurements, it is possible to find methodologies so that they can correctly simulate human tissue. This study aims to describe the process of design and manufacture an anthropomorphic neck-thyroid phantom using a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer and tissue-equivalent materials for multidisciplinary purposes. Materials and Methods: To this study, the commercial phantom ATOM MAX 711, from CIRS, was used as an anatomical reference for the 3D modeling base of the neck-thyroid phantom. Commercially available PLA and ABS XCT-A developed at IPEN were used in the 3D printing process in order to simulate soft and bone tissues respectively. It was used the RAISE3D PRO 2 FFF printer from IPEN. The usability validation of the phantom was performed through the analysis of images from a computed tomography (CT) acquisition. The Hounsfield Units (HU) numbers were compared between the 3D printed and the ATOM MAX 711 phantoms to each type of tissue represented. A thyroid accessory was also developed on the purpose of immobilization of radioactive material with epoxy resin. Results: The modeling methodology of the 3D phantom of this study opens possibilities for using tomographic images of any objects, or even patients, to perform 3D prototyping of increasingly specific and customized simulators. The CT image analysis show great results on the analysis of the construction of the soft tissue with PLA filaments; construction of the bone tissues with ABS XCT-A; analysis of the construction of the thyroid accessory with epoxy resin; analysis of the spacing of the fit of the printed pieces; and analysis of image artifacts caused by the FFF technique. Conclusions: The developed phantom presents the desirable characteristics for applications in radiation protection, measurements of radioisotopes incorporated in the thyroid (both contamination counters and nuclear medicine detectors) and training of techniques of acquisition of images with X rays. It is a viable alternative to a tissue-equivalent phantom; and low cost when compared to other commercially available options.

    Abstract: The use of 3D printing technologies is growing widely, including the possibility of designing phantoms for imaging and dosimetry. High attenuation tissues such as cortical bone, dentin and enamel need to be simulated to accurately produce 3D printed phantoms, especially for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printing technology. A commercially available radiopaque FFF filament had been hard to find. This study aims to report, step-by-step, the development of a radiopaque FFF filament. A combination of radiopaque substances (Barium Sulfate - BaSO4 and Calcium Carbonate - CaCO3) were selected for use as fillers in an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) matrix and added in quantities calculated using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) XCOM tool. The filament was homogenized and characterized by analyzing its density and images obtained using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Computed Tomography (CT) and micro-CT (μCT) scans. Three filaments were produced with different Hounsfield Units (HU) equivalences: XCT-A (1607HU), XCT-B (1965HU) and XCT-C (2624HU) with respective densities of 1.166(6) g/cm³, 1.211(2) g/cm³ and 1.271(3) g/cm³. With these values, high attenuation tissues, such as bones, dentine and enamel, can now be simulated with FFF 3D printing technology, at a low cost of production.

In: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DOSIMETRY AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 3rd, May 27-31, 2019, Lisboa, Portugal. Abstract... Lisboa, Portugal: C2TN, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 2019.

    Abstract: Introduction The use of 3D printing and fi laments commonly found commercially for development of phantoms has been investigated in recent years due to the cost of materials and improvements in the quality of printers. The application of this technique for radiation protection and dosimetry requires a complex study of the quality control and the interaction of printed materials with different radiation beams. The aim of this paper is to characterize 3D printed phantoms and printing set-ups for different infi ll percentages for diagnostic energy beams. Methods 3D printing performance was studied using the RAISE 3D PRO2 printer from IPEN for printing with PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) fi laments. Printing characteristics such as repeatability, reproducibility, effective density by displaced water mass and porosity at 100% infi ll were studied. Plate samples of 8x8x1cm3 were printed and, using the Pantak Seifert irradiator with different x-ray qualities in the diagnostic energy range, the attenuation coeffi cients were obtained experimentally for different percentages of plates infi ll. Results By printing three identical samples for each print mode, the 3D printing system had a repeatability better than 1.0% for masses and average of 0.7% for the dimensions of the printed objects, obtaining the highest variations in small printed parts. Little to no porosity has been found on the printed pieces with 100% infi ll, giving to the printed objects the same density of the chosen fi lament. The attenuation coeffi cients were determined for the different beam qualities and it was verifi ed that the variation in the values decreases as the infi ll quality increases. Conclusions The results show that the printing system have excellent repeatability and print quality. The different printing modes characterized together with their attenuation coeffi cients for the x-ray beams will be studied and used in the development of new 3D printed phantoms in our institute.

    Abstract: The aim of this paper is to characterize 3D printed phantoms and printing set-ups with different infill percentages for imaging energy X-ray beams attenuation. 3D printing performance was studied using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique with PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) filaments. Phantom plates were printed and, using the Pantak Seifert X-ray system with different beam qualities in the diagnostic range, the attenuation coefficients were obtained experimentally with the transmission method and results compared with PMMA used as reference and theoretical data. Different percentages of infill of printed phantoms were also evaluated and transmission characterized. The attenuation coefficients were determined for the different beam qualities and results show that the variation in the values of attenuation coefficients decreases as the infill quality increases. Attenuation characteristics evaluated indicates the suitable equivalence of PLA to PMMA for 3D printing water/tissue equivalent most complex geometry phantoms. The different printing modes characterized together with their attenuation coefficients for the X-ray beams will be studied and used in the development of new 3D printed phantoms in our institute.

Dosimetric evaluation and comparation of TL responses of LiF:Mg,Ti and μLiF:Mg,Ti in the clinical electron beams dosimetry applied to total skin irradiation (TSEB) treatments. Radiation Measurements, v. 125, p. 15-18, 2019. DOI: 10.1016/j.radmeas.2019.03.007

    Abstract: The Total Skin Electron Beam (TSEB) irradiation is a radiotherapeutic technique that aims to provide the patient's skin surface with a more homogeneous dose, in order to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, both for curative and palliative purposes. Electron irradiation penetrates a few millimeters into the skin, reaching the affected parts completely, without penetrating the internal organs. In vivo dosimetry has become an important role for the treatment of total skin irradiation within a rigorous quality assurance program that should be an integral part of the radiotherapy departments. The use of TLDs in vivo can identify variations in the prescribed dose because its measurement accuracy and great precision. The LiF:Mg,Ti is the most used TL material and widely studied in radiotherapy dosimetry due to near tissue-equivalence of the material, along with its overall reliability. The dosimeters of μLiF:Mg,Ti have been gaining considerable importance in the radiotherapy departments. These detectors allow measurements in vivo with great advantages due to their minimum dimensions of 1×1×1 mm3. This paper reports a comparative study of the TL responses of both materials to dose evaluation in TSEB treatments. The TL response of both materials in several TSEB parameter tests and in clinical application were evaluated, analyzing the dose distribution in a treatment simulation using AldersonRando anthropomorphic phantom. The results showed that the μLiF:Mg,Ti presented greater variation of the response in relation to LiF dosemeters in some parameters analyzed, due to the small dimensions and to evaluate doses absorbed in the surface over a large area in the treatment plan.

    Abstract: Fricke Xilenol Gel (FXG) é um dosímetro químico bem conhecido e caracterizado. Neste trabalho, foi adicionada alanina ao FXG a fim de obter melhora na sensibilidade. A comparação entre os dois dosímetros permitiu verificar maior estabilidade no gel devido à presença da alanina e aumento do intervalo de linearidade da resposta óptica: de 1 a 30 Gy para 5 a 50 Gy. Foi possível verificar, também, que a variação de cor das amostras após a irradiação é característica de cada tipo de dosímetro e que a sensibilidade do dosímetro com alanina é maior utilizando-se 0,2 mM de alaranjado de xilenol.

Proteção contra radiações na comunidade dos países de língua portuguesa. Coimbra, Portugal: Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, 2018. p. 85-93, DOI: 10.14195/978-989-26-1602-5

    Abstract: Fricke Xilenol Gel (FXG) é um dosímetro químico bem conhecido e caracterizado. Neste trabalho, foi adicionada alanina ao FXG a fim de obter melhora na sensibilidade. A comparação entre os dois dosímetros permitiu verificar maior estabilidade no gel devido à presença da alanina e aumento do intervalo de linearidade da resposta óptica: de 1 a 30 Gy para 5 a 50 Gy. Foi possível verificar, também, que a variação de cor das amostras após a irradiação é característica de cada tipo de dosímetro e que a sensibilidade do dosímetro com alanina é maior utilizando-se 0,2 mM de alaranjado de xilenol.

A pesquisa no RD utiliza os recursos de busca da maioria das bases de dados. No entanto algumas dicas podem auxiliar para obter um resultado mais pertinente.

✔ É possível efetuar a busca de um autor ou um termo em todo o RD, por meio do Buscar no Repositório , isto é, o termo solicitado será localizado em qualquer campo do RD. No entanto esse tipo de pesquisa não é recomendada a não ser que se deseje um resultado amplo e generalizado.

✔ A pesquisa apresentará melhor resultado selecionando um dos filtros disponíveis em Navegar

✔ Os filtros disponíveis em Navegar tais como: Coleções, Ano de publicação, Títulos, Assuntos, Autores, Revista, Tipo de publicação são autoexplicativos. O filtro, Autores IPEN apresenta uma relação com os autores vinculados ao IPEN; o ID Autor IPEN diz respeito ao número único de identificação de cada autor constante no RD e sob o qual estão agrupados todos os seus trabalhos independente das variáveis do seu nome; Tipo de acesso diz respeito à acessibilidade do documento, isto é , sujeito as leis de direitos autorais, ID RT apresenta a relação dos relatórios técnicos, restritos para consulta das comunidades indicadas.

A opção Busca avançada utiliza os conectores da lógica boleana, é o melhor recurso para combinar chaves de busca e obter documentos relevantes à sua pesquisa, utilize os filtros apresentados na caixa de seleção para refinar o resultado de busca. Pode-se adicionar vários filtros a uma mesma busca.

Exemplo:

Buscar os artigos apresentados em um evento internacional de 2015, sobre loss of coolant, do autor Maprelian.

Autor: Maprelian

Título: loss of coolant

Tipo de publicação: Texto completo de evento

Ano de publicação: 2015

✔ Para indexação dos documentos é utilizado o Thesaurus do INIS, especializado na área nuclear e utilizado em todos os países membros da International Atomic Energy Agency – IAEA , por esse motivo, utilize os termos de busca de assunto em inglês; isto não exclui a busca livre por palavras, apenas o resultado pode não ser tão relevante ou pertinente.

✔ 95% do RD apresenta o texto completo do documento com livre acesso, para aqueles que apresentam o significa que e o documento está sujeito as leis de direitos autorais, solicita-se nesses casos contatar a Biblioteca do IPEN, bibl@ipen.br .

✔ Ao efetuar a busca por um autor o RD apresentará uma relação de todos os trabalhos depositados no RD. No lado direito da tela são apresentados os coautores com o número de trabalhos produzidos em conjunto bem como os assuntos abordados e os respectivos anos de publicação agrupados.

✔ O RD disponibiliza um quadro estatístico de produtividade, onde é possível visualizar o número dos trabalhos agrupados por tipo de coleção, a medida que estão sendo depositados no RD.

✔ Na página inicial nas referências são sinalizados todos os autores IPEN, ao clicar nesse símbolo será aberta uma nova página correspondente à aquele autor – trata-se da página do pesquisador.

✔ Na página do pesquisador, é possível verificar, as variações do nome, a relação de todos os trabalhos com texto completo bem como um quadro resumo numérico; há links para o Currículo Lattes e o Google Acadêmico ( quando esse for informado).

ATENÇÃO!

ESTE TEXTO "AJUDA" ESTÁ SUJEITO A ATUALIZAÇÕES CONSTANTES, A MEDIDA QUE NOVAS FUNCIONALIDADES E RECURSOS DE BUSCA FOREM SENDO DESENVOLVIDOS PELAS EQUIPES DA BIBLIOTECA E DA INFORMÁTICA.

O gerenciamento do Repositório está a cargo da Biblioteca do IPEN. Constam neste RI, até o presente momento 20.950 itens que tanto podem ser artigos de periódicos ou de eventos nacionais e internacionais, dissertações e teses, livros, capítulo de livros e relatórios técnicos. Para participar do RI-IPEN é necessário que pelo menos um dos autores tenha vínculo acadêmico ou funcional com o Instituto. Nesta primeira etapa de funcionamento do RI, a coleta das publicações é realizada periodicamente pela equipe da Biblioteca do IPEN, extraindo os dados das bases internacionais tais como a Web of Science, Scopus, INIS, SciElo além de verificar o Currículo Lattes. O RI-IPEN apresenta também um aspecto inovador no seu funcionamento. Por meio de metadados específicos ele está vinculado ao sistema de gerenciamento das atividades do Plano Diretor anual do IPEN (SIGEPI). Com o objetivo de fornecer dados numéricos para a elaboração dos indicadores da Produção Cientifica Institucional, disponibiliza uma tabela estatística registrando em tempo real a inserção de novos itens. Foi criado um metadado que contém um número único para cada integrante da comunidade científica do IPEN. Esse metadado se transformou em um filtro que ao ser acionado apresenta todos os trabalhos de um determinado autor independente das variáveis na forma de citação do seu nome.

A elaboração do projeto do RI do IPEN foi iniciado em novembro de 2013, colocado em operação interna em julho de 2014 e disponibilizado na Internet em junho de 2015. Utiliza o software livre Dspace, desenvolvido pelo Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Para descrição dos metadados adota o padrão Dublin Core. É compatível com o Protocolo de Arquivos Abertos (OAI) permitindo interoperabilidade com repositórios de âmbito nacional e internacional.

O Repositório Digital do IPEN é um equipamento institucional de acesso aberto, criado com o objetivo de reunir, preservar, disponibilizar e conferir maior visibilidade à Produção Científica publicada pelo Instituto, desde sua criação em 1956.

Operando, inicialmente como uma base de dados referencial o Repositório foi disponibilizado na atual plataforma, em junho de 2015. No Repositório está disponível o acesso ao conteúdo digital de artigos de periódicos, eventos, nacionais e internacionais, livros, capítulos, dissertações, teses e relatórios técnicos.
