Monte Carlo simulations of out‐of‐field skin dose due to spiralling contaminant electrons in a perpendicular magnetic field

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential skin dose toxicity contribution of spiralling contaminant electrons (SCE) generated in the air in an MR‐linac with a 0.35 or 1.5 T magnetic field using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo (MC) code. Comparisons to experimental results at 1.5 T are...
