| pubmed:abstractText |
During proton radiotherapy, secondary neutrons are produced by nuclear interactions in the material in the beam line before and after entering the patient. The dose equivalent deposited by these neutrons is usually not considered in routine treatment planning. In this study, we estimated the neutron dose in patients from a spot scanning beam line by performing measurements and Monte Carlo simulations.
