External-beam radiation therapy is safe, effective and widely used to treat cancer. With 5-
year cancer survival for adults above 70%, increasingly research is focusing on quantifying …

The aim of this work is to study the trajectories, stopping power and dose deposited by
contaminating particles appearing with the 18 MV photon beam delivered by the Elekta …

A radiation treatment delivery technique, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), has
found widespread use in the treatment of cancers. One of IMRT implementing methods is …

Photon energy is higher than the (γ, n) threshold, allowing it to interact with the nuclei of
materials with high z properties and liberate fast neutrons. This represents a potentially …

In this study was carried out a review according to experimental and Monte Carlo studies in
the literature on the neutron production from 18 MV, Varian 2100C/D linac. The effects of …

The in-field radiation contamination including photons and neutrons originated from a
dedicated intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) accelerator, LIAC12, at different …

Results: Photoneutron spectrum analysis indicated that neutrons with highest relative
biological effectiveness were delivered to the phantom surface, and opening the field from …

Purpose: The distribution of neutron ambient dose equivalent within the TrueBeam 10 MV
photon chamber was investigated. Materials and Methods: The research used particle and …

The purpose of this study was to design a simple neutron applicator to reduce neutron
damage in CIEDs from high energy photon beams. MCNP was used to simulate gantry …

Постановка проблемы. Оценка эффективности лучевой терапии не может быть полной
без учета ситуации самих пациентов. То, как человек реагирует на назначение лучевой …
