Quantitative Assessment of Photoneutron-induced Secondary Radiation Dose in Prostate Treatment Using an 18 MV Medical Linear Accelerator: A Monte Carlo Study

Quantitative Assessment of Photoneutron-induced Secondary Radiation Dose in Prostate Treatment Using an 18 MV Medical Linear Accelerator: A Monte Carlo Study

Purpose: This study aims to quantify the secondary radiation dose caused by photoneutrons during prostate cancer treatment using an 18 MV medical linear accelerator (LINAC) through Monte Carlo simulations and experimental validation. Methods: Monte Carlo simulations were performed using G4Linac_MT t...
