Introduction. The rapid development of new radiotherapy technologies, such as intensity
modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or tomotherapy, has resulted in the capacity to deliver a …

Advanced techniques and modalities in delivering radiotherapy improved the ability of
delivering higher tumor doses while minimizing dose to the critical organs. The aim of this …

There is growing concern about radiation-induced second cancers associated with radiation
treatments. Particular attention has been focused on the risk to patients treated with intensity …

A radiation dosimetry technique based on pairs of 6 LiF: Mg, Cu, P and 7 LiF: Mg, Cu, P
glass-rod TLDs was developed for measuring peripheral photon and neutron doses in the …

Peripheral photon and neutron doses from external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) are
associated with increased risk of carcinogenesis in the out-of-field organs; thus, dose …

The benefits that radiotherapy provides to the patient are unquestionable. However, there is
growing concern about the increased risk of radiation-induced secondary cancer and the …

For intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments photons are typically used,
however, for deep seated tumors in the pelvic region, higher photon energies are …

This paper presents in-phantom photoneutron equivalent doses induced by external
radiotherapy, these are necessary to assess organ-averaged equivalent doses to derive the …

In the current study, the out-of-field organ and effective dose for external radiation therapy of
prostate cancer was estimated by the MCNPX Monte Carlo code and a mathematical …

In this part of work carried out by Working Group 9 (Radiation Protection Dosimetry in
Medicine) of the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS), water tank experiments …
