Full TextAbstract
Dose due to neutrons resulting from high-energy linear accelerator is not detailed in routine treat-ment planning, though this information is potentially important for better estimates of health risks including secondary cancers. In this study, the neutron contamina-tions were evaluated in the patient-specific voxel phantom for the treatment of prostate cancer using MCNP code. The results showed that the neutron organ doses are indepen-dent from the distance between studied organs and treat-ment area, and unlike the photon dose, the neutron dose distribution is almost homogeneous in the patient body.
