Peripheral Organ Equivalent Dose Estimation Procedure in Proton Therapy

Peripheral Organ Equivalent Dose Estimation Procedure in Proton Therapy

The aim of this work is to present a reproducible methodology for the evaluation of total equivalent doses in organs during proton therapy facilities. The methodology is based on measuring the dose equivalent in representative locations inside an anthropomorphic phantom where photon and neutron dosi...
