Skyshine Dose Estimations for an 18 MeV Photon Beam Using MCNPX Code: A Comparison of Flattened and Flattening Filter-Free Beam

Purpose: The current study aimed to estimate photon skyshine dose rate from a Varian linac equippedwith a Flattening Filter (FF) and its FF-Free (FFF) mode. The skyshine photons from a Linac bunker can influence the radiation dose received by personnel and the public in radiation therapy centers....
