Ionizing Radiation

Our team's research work consists of developing the patient quality assurance procedure in conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy "IMRT". This methodology consists of explicitly setting the objectives that we wish to achieve in terms of dose distribution in the target volume and in the organs at risk and asking specific software to calculate, for each of the beams used, the modulation of intensity that allows these objectives to be achieved.

The objective is to master and put into service this new technique to optimize and develop treatment plans for different cases of cancer and to master the calculation of doses in 3D radiotherapy for the case of lung cancer (Case of adapted respiration) . The development of patient quality assurance using diodes within the Blida CAC. A second research program consists of: Quantifying the dose due to radiation diffused in diagnosis and interventional radiology for optimization of personnel radiation protection. This work aims to evaluate the dose generated by the radiation diffused by the patient in radiodiagnosis and interventional radiology as well as to target its limits. Quantification of the dose will be carried out using the experimental means available at the CRNA laboratory and by integrating relevant parameters from knowledge of radiation physics, notably radiation-matter interaction. On a third axis, a research program based on the optimization of an experimental device (choice of materials making up the shielding and their dimensions) using a neutron source. The device is optimal when the detection limits of the constituent elements of all types of sample to be analyzed are minimal.
