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 mon...

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...

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...

Background: Neutron contamination is produced in electron beams of linac when tooth or dental materials are located in the path of beam. Objective: This study aims to determine the neutron dose contamination from different dental restoration materials in electron mode of a linac. Material and Methods: In this experimental study, the neutron dose contamination was calculated in the p...

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...

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...

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 ...

Introduction: This study aimed to measure the neutron contamination of flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) 10-MV photon beams delivered by the Elekta InfinityTM accelerator. Material and Methods: The photoneutron spectrum produced by the Linac head was evaluated using a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The geometry ...
