Measurement of Neutron Dose Equivalent within and Outside of a LINAC Treatment Vault Using a Neutron Survey Meter

Duong Thanh Tai et al.

Summary: This study investigated neutron doses associated with the use of a Siemens Primus M5497 electron accelerator, finding varying dose equivalent values at different measurement locations and the highest value near the treatment couch. The results are crucial for improving patient safety and providing protective measures within the treatment room.
