A Monte Carlo study on electron and neutron contamination caused by the presence of hip prosthesis in photon mode of a 15 MV Siemens PRIMUS linac

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 Sieme...
