Study of the effect of magnetic field in positron range using GATE simulation toolkit

Soultanidis, G; Nikiforidis, G; Karakatsanis, N; Loudos, G2011

[en] In simultaneous PET-MR systems, the emitted positrons trajectory is influenced by the magnetic field. The aim of this study is to define that influence to the positron annihilation distribution. Monte Carlo methods have been applied, using GATE. Several isotopes were studied, in various types of materials and with different magnetic field strengths. The results showed variations in the positron range between different components and especially between the lung and water. Measurements of the 1-D positron annihilation distance indicated a reduction of the mean positron annihilation distance for ⁸²Rb of ∼25%, ⁶⁸Ga of 19% and ¹⁸F of 3.5%, at 3 Tesla. When the magnetic field was increased to 9.5 Tesla, the reduction was significant for all isotopes, and mainly for ⁶⁸Ga and ⁸²Rb, with approximately 41% reduction of the mean positron annihilation distance in water. Finally, the positron annihilation distribution varies according to the alignment with the magnetic field lines. The results of this study could be used to improve positron annihilation correction algorithms for simultaneous PET-MR acquisition, by taking under consideration the non-isotropic distribution.

AbstractAbstract

[en] The lack of suitable dosimetry protocols, coupled with the increasing complexity of pre-clinical irradiation platforms, undermines confidence in preclinical studies and represents a serious obstacle in the translation to clinical practice. To accurately measure output of a pre-clinical radiotherapy unit, appropriate Codes of Practice (CoP) for medium energy X-rays need to be used. However, determination of absorbed dose to water (D_w) relies on application of backscatter factor (B_w) employing in-air method or carrying out in-phantom measurement at the reference depth of 2 cm in a full scatter condition. The full scatter conditions require the size of the phantom extending outside the beam edges and have been recommended to be at least 30 × 30 × 30 cm³. In most of the instances in pre-clinical irradiators the full scatter conditions cannot be fulfilled and, moreover, are not adequate to geometries used in pre-clinical practice. Therefore, additional recommendations to the existing CoP are required to accurately determine the dose rate (beam output) relevant to irradiation configurations in pre-clinical radiation research.
