[ 1 ] - Using Zirconium Borohydride as Neutron Shield in LINAC head
Introduction: One of the concerns about using of high energy photons in radiotherapy is neutron contamination production. The threshold energy of photoneutron production in most materials with high atomic number is about 7MeV. Therefore, it seems to be logical that the main components with high atomic number elements used in the LINAC head have a large contribution to the neutr...
[ 2 ] - Investigation of LINAC Structural Effects on Photoneutron Specified Parameters Using FLUKA code
Introduction: The utilization of high-energy photons in the medical linear accelerator can lead to photoneutron production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the physical components of the head, including flattening filter (FF) andmultileaf collimator (MLC), as well as the dependence of therapeutic field size on the photoneutron spectrum, dose, and flux. <str...
