Semi-experimental assessment of neutron equivalent dose and secondary cancer risk for off-field organs in glioma patients undergoing 18-MV radiotherapy

Neutron contamination as a source of out-of-field dose in radiotherapy is still of concern. High-energy treatment photons have the potential to overcome the binding energy of neutrons inside the nuclei. Fast neutrons emitting from the accelerator head can directly reach the patient’s bed. Considerin...
