Investigating the Secondary Thermal Neutron Intensity of Neutron Capture-Enhanced Proton Therapy

Investigating the Secondary Thermal Neutron Intensity of Neutron Capture-Enhanced Proton Therapy

This study aimed to investigate the distribution of thermal neutron fluence generated during proton-beam therapy (PBT) scanning, focusing on neutrons produced within the body using Monte Carlo simulations (MCSs). MCSs used the Particle and Heavy Ion Treatment Code System to define a 35 × 35 × 35 cm&...
