Description

The main purpose of our study is to set up a reproducible irradiation protocol in which the absorbed dose delivered to the prostate is well known and constant. The X-ray unit used for experimental irradiation is the Faxitron CP-160 (nominal X-ray tube voltage: 160 kV). Two kinds of approaches are considered. First, an experimental measurement of the absorbed dose delivered to the prostate of a mouse. Absorbed dose measurements were performed by the use of Lif:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) with a sensitive range between 50 μGy and 500 Gy. Secondly, absorbed dose calculation via Monte-Carlo modelling of radiation transport and energy deposition
