This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of a Conference on Neutrons From Electron Medical Accelerators: Proceedings of a Conference Held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, April 9-10, 1979 I appreciate very much the privilege of speaking at the initiation of this important con ference on neutrons from medical accelerators. This conference has attracted participation by most, if not all, of the experts in this field and it is likely that the work to be reported here will lead to a resolution of this problem. We are all concerned with the problem which con fronts those employing high-energy x-rays and electrons for treatment: that of the proper evaluation of the role of the associated neutron contamination. Before adding my comments on the inherent neutron additive to megavoltage therapy, I should like to review something of the frame of reference of this problem.

Book Synopsis Neutron Production and Leakage from Medical Electron Accelerators by :
Download or read book Neutron Production and Leakage from Medical Electron Accelerators written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For medical accelerators operating above about 10 MeV, there is an unavoidable production of photoneutrons which add to the head leakage. The yield of photoneutrons produced by electron beams incident on thick targets has been calculated and found to increase rapidly with primary electron energy up to approximately 25 MeV, and more slowly thereafter. Dividing the neutron fluence for W (or Pb) by the photon absorbed dose for the same conditions gives the ratio plotted. This ratio, representing the maximum achievable with practical materials, becomes nearly constant above about 25 MeV incident electron energy where its value is about 2.1 x 105 neutrons cm−2 rad−1. Measurements that fall significantly below the curve are likely due to photon absorption in components that are not high-Z materials, or measurements made with the moveable jaws open. Points that fall significantly above probably mean there is substantial loss of electron beam elsewhere than the intended target.

Download or read book Neutrons from Medical Electron Accelerators written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significant sources of photoneutrons within a linear-accelerator treatment head are identified and absolute estimates of neutron production per treatment dose are given for typical components. Measured data obtained at a variety of accelerator installations are presented and compared with these calculations. It is found that the high-Z materials within the treatment head do not significantly alter the neutron fluence, but do substantially reduce the average energy of the transmitted spectrum. Reflected neutrons from the concrete treatment room contribute to the neutron fluence, but not substantially to the patient integral dose, because of a further reduction in average energy. Absolute depth-dose distributions for realistic neutron spectra are calculated, and a rapid falloff with depth is found.

Book excerpt: A method is described using simple gold foils and relatively inexpensive moderators to measure neutron fluences, both fast nd thermal, which then can be converted to dose equivalent using a few simple formulas. The method is sensitive, easy to calibrate, and should work at most accelerators regardless of energy or room geometry.

Download or read book Neutron Yield of Medical Electron Accelerators written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shielding calculations for medical electron accelerators above about 10 MeV require some knowledge of the neutron emission from the machine. This knowledge might come from the manufacturer's specifications or from published measurements of the neutron leakage of that particular model and energy of accelerator. In principle, the yield can be calculated if details of the accelerator design are known. These details are often not available because the manufacturer considers them proprietary. A broader knowledge of neutron emission would be useful and it is the purpose of this paper to present such information. 5 refs., 1 tab.
