- W3120809944 abstract "Abstract Purpose . We propose a new detection method of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in therapeutic megavoltage (MV) x-ray beams by means of coincidence counting of annihilation photons following pair production in gold. Methods . The proposed MV x-ray induced positron emission (MVIPE) imaging technique is studied by radiation transport computations using MCNP6 (3D) and CEPXS/ONEDANT (1D) codes for two water phantoms: a 35 cm slab and a similarly sized cylinder, both having a 5 cm AuNP filled region in the center. MVIPE is compared to the standard x-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT). MVIPE adopts MV x-ray sources (Co-60, 2 MV, 6 MV, 6 MV with closed MLC and 15 MV) and relies on the detection of 511 keV photon-pairs. XFCT uses kilovoltage sources (100 kVp, 120 kVp and 150 kVp) and imaging is characterized by analysis of k α 1,2 Au characteristic lines. Three levels of AuNP concentration were studied: 0.1%, 1% and 10% by weight. Results . Annihilation photons in the MVIPE technique originate both in the AuNP and in water along the x-ray beam path with significantly larger production in the AuNP-loaded region. MVIPE signal from AuNP is linearly increasing with AuNP concentration up to 10%wt, while XFCT signal reaches saturation due to self-absorption within AuNP. The production of annihilation photons is proportional to the MV source energy. MVIPE technique using a 15 MV pencil beam and 10 wt% AuNP detects about 4.5 × 10 3 511 keV-photons cm −2 at 90° w/r to the incident beam per 10 9 source photons cm −2 ; 500 of these come from AuNP. In contrast, the XFCT technique using 150 kVp detects only about 100 k α 1 -photons cm −2 per 10 9 source photons cm −2 . Conclusions . In MVIPE, the number of annihilation photons produced for different MV-beam energies and AuNP concentrations is significantly greater than the k α 1 photons generated in XFCT. Coincidence counting in MVIPE allows to avoid collimation, which is a major limiting factor in XFCT. MVIPE challenges include the filtering of Compton scatter and annihilation photons originating in water." @default.
