FETAL DOSE ESTIMATION DURING PREGNANCY USING GATE MONTE CARLO SIMULATION: APPLICATION OF HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA RADIOTHERAPY.

The aim of this study is to estimate the fetal radiation dose for a pregnant patient treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Due to the supradiaphragmatic extensions, two plans are used for this treatment, one for supra-clavicular and the other for cervical lymph nodes, with beam energies of 18 and 6 MV, respectively. We model the ELEKTA accelerator (Versa HD Ltd, Crawly, UK) and the pregnant patient using GATE code.
