Table 1 Calibration factors for converting tracks per cm 2 into neutron dose equivalent in mSv for the different positions in the phantom
From: Monitor units are not predictive of neutron dose for high-energy IMRT
Depth in cm | Neutron dose HP(10) (Am-Be)/(tracks per cm2) in mSv cm2 | Neutron dose equivalent H (16 MV photons)/HP(10) (Am-Be) | |
