Spot scanning proton therapy minimizes neutron dose in the setting of radiation therapy administered during pregnancy

This is a real case study to minimize the neutron dose equivalent (H) to a fetus using spot scanning proton beams with favorable beam energies and angles. Minimum neutron dose exposure to the fetus was achieved with iterative planning under the guidance of neutron H measurement. Two highly conformal...
