Table 2 Neutron dose equivalent in mSv per treatment Gy measured at different depths for an open field and an intensity-modulated field
From: Monitor units are not predictive of neutron dose for high-energy IMRT
Depth in cm | Neutron dose equivalent in mSv/Gy for an open field | Neutron dose equivalent in mSv/Gy for an IMRT field | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
in-field | out-of-field | in-field | out-of-field | |
0.2 | 2.8 | 1.0 | 4.5 | 2.4 |
15.0 | 0.20 | 0.015 | 0.20 | 0.029 |
