The Contribution of Secondary Particles Following Carbon Ion Radiotherapy to Soft Errors in CIEDs

<italic>Introduction:</italic> While carbon ion radiotherapy is highly effective in cancer treatment, it has a high risk of causing soft error, which leads to malfunctions in cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs). To predict the risk of malfunction prior to treatment, it is nece...
