Evaluation of the Mini-ridge Filter’s Impact on the Generation of Secondary Radiation in Synchrotron-based Proton Beam Therapy
These results demonstrated that MRF had a limited effect on the generation of secondary radiation in PBT. MRF, which is used to improve dose distribution, has the potential to be safely used without increasing secondary radiation, and MRF might not affected to generate secondary radiation to clinically meaningful levels.
