Calculation of photoneutron contamination of varian linac in icru soft-tissue phantom using MCNPX code

Purpose: The aim of this research was to calculate the fluence, dose equivalent (DE), and kerma of thermal, epithermal and fast photoneutrons separately, within ICRU soft-tissue-equivalent phantom in the radiotherapy treatment room, using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Materials and Methods: For this purpo...
