Quantitative Assessment of Photoneutron-induced Secondary Radiation Dose in Prostate Treatment Using an 18 MV Medical Linear Accelerator: A Monte Carlo Study
Monte Carlo simulation is a reliable approach for evaluating neutron dose contributions in high-energy X-ray LINACs. Optimization of treatment plans is essential to minimize neutron-induced dose contributions.
