(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
The production of secondary neutrons is an undesirable byproduct of proton therapy. It is important to quantify the contribution from secondary neutrons to patient dose received outside the treatment volume. The purpose ...
Study of secondary neutrons from uniform scanning proton beams by means of experiment and simulation
(2013-07)
Proton radiotherapy is becoming popular as an effective modality to treat cancer. However the advantages of the proton radiotherapy could be offset due to the effect of secondary neutrons. Secondary neutrons are an undesired ...
