Comparison of 3DCRT and IMRT out-of-field doses in pediatric patients using Monte Carlo simulations with treatment planning system calculations and measurements

3DCRT and IMRT out-of-field doses in pediatric patients were compared using Monte Carlo simulations with treatment planning system calculations and measurements.PurposeOut-of-field doses are given to healthy tissues, which may allow the development of second tumors. The use of IMRT in pediatric pati...
