Evaluation of the Mini-ridge Filter’s Impact on the Generation of Secondary Radiation in Synchrotron-based Proton Beam Therapy

Evaluation of the Mini-ridge Filter’s Impact on the Generation of Secondary Radiation in Synchrotron-based Proton Beam Therapy

Purpose: This study evaluated whether the mini-ridge filter (MRF) used for beam energy optimization in a synchrotron-based proton beam therapy (PBT) affects the generation of secondary neutrons and photons. Materials and Methods: Secondary radiation from the PBT was evaluated using a Monte Carlo sim...
