REDUCING STRAY RADIATION DOSE FOR A PEDIATRIC PATIENT RECEIVING PROTON CRANIOSPINAL IRRADIATION

The aim of this study was to quantify stray radiation dose from neutrons emanating from a proton treatment unit and to evaluate methods of reducing this dose for a pediatric patient undergoing craniospinal irradiation. The organ equivalent doses and effective dose from stray radiation were estimated...
