Complete patient exposure during paediatric brain cancer treatment for photon and proton therapy techniques including imaging procedures

Complete patient exposure during paediatric brain cancer treatment for photon and proton therapy techniques including imaging procedures

BackgroundIn radiotherapy, especially when treating children, minimising exposure of healthy tissue can prevent the development of adverse outcomes, including second cancers. In this study we propose a validated Monte Carlo framework to evaluate the complete patient exposure during paediatric brain...
