[ 1 ] - Assessment of Neutron Contamination Originating from the Presence of Wedge and Block in Photon Beam Radiotherapy
Background: One of the main causes of induction of secondary cancer in radiation therapy is neutron contamination received by patients during treatment.Objective: In the present study the impact of wedge and block on neutron contamination production is investigated. The evaluations are conducted for a 15 MV Siemens Primus linear accelerator. Methods: Simulations were performed using MCNPX Monte...
