Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of aluminum as a range shifter in UHDR proton therapy, aiming to harness its compactness and mechanical properties while acknowledging its higher potential for producing secondary neutrons compared to plastic shifters.!*
-
- Neutron dosimetry was conducted through simulations and measurements to assess the increased neutron exposure during proton irradiation with aluminum range shifters, utilizing Monte Carlo simulations for accuracy.!*
-
- Results showed that the secondary neutron production characteristics of aluminum were evaluated against IEC standards to determine the clinical implications and potential cancer risks associated with neutron exposure in patients.!*
