Neutron Contamination Unexpected Dose in Varian LINAC
Introduction: Neutron contamination is very harmful for the patients receiving radiation therapy due to the high relative biological effect of neutrons. Medical linear accelerators head are made up of materials with high atomic numbers, and High-energy photons interaction with heavy materials can produce neutron contamination. In this study, neutron equivalent dose, neutron spe...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study on electron and neutron contamination caused by the presence of hip prosthesis in photon mode of a 15 MV Siemens PRIMUS linac
Several investigators have pointed out that electron and neutron contamination from high-energy photon beams are clinically important. The aim of this study is to assess electron and neutron contamination production by various prostheses in a high-energy photon beam of a medical linac. A 15 MV Siemens PRIMUS linac was simulated by MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code and the results of percentage depth ...

متن کاملThe influence of neutron contamination on pacemaker in photon beam radiotherapy by LINAC using the Monte Carlo method
In radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams (E > 10 MV) neutrons are generated mainly in LINACs head thorough (γ,n) interactions. These neutrons affect the shielding requirements in radiation therapy rooms. According to the AAPMTG-34 report, photon absorbed dose of 10Gy can cause permanent damage to the pacemaker and the dose of 2Gy can make minor changes in the functioning of the pac...
