MC estimation of out-of-field organ doses from scattered photons, photoneutrons, and capture gamma rays in prostate radiation therapy
In the current study, the out-of-field organ and effective dose for external radiation therapy of prostate cancer was estimated by the MCNPX Monte Carlo code and a mathematical phantom. Organ doses from scattered photons, photoneutrons, and capture gamma rays were calculated for an 18 MV photon...
