[ 1 ] - Unexpected dose and the biological effect of neutron contamination in linear accelerators
Employing High-energy photons in medical linear accelerators can lead to neutron contamination. The relative biological effect of neutrons is 20 times higher than photons. Consequently, its damage to the biological tissue is much higher and unobtrusive. In this study, we calculated neutron equivalent dose in a medical linear accelerator by the FLUKA Monte Carlo code system. The results show tha...
[ 2 ] - 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...
