Because it is absolutely inert in the human body, immune to attack from bodily fluids, compatible with bone growth, and strong and flexible, titanium is the most biocompatible of all metals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dosimetric effect of various cerebral implant Titanium plate thickness (0.05-1.cm) irradiated by 4 MV photon beam using Monte Carlo (Fluka). The simulations result shows that increasing thicknesses of the Ti plate rise the dose deposition near to plate. Also the dose deposition is varying when the Ti plate is set in different depth from the surface of the water equivalent phantom (for example the dose deposition decrease about 8% for 1cm). The second part of this study is dedicate to investigate the effect of scattered radiation produced in a cerebral implant for various materials including Ti alloys such as Ti-6Al-7Nb, Ti-6Al-4V(α) and Ti-6Al-4V(β).Index Terms-bacscatted gamma, dose distributions, FLUKA simulation, Titanium alloys plate I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
