Measurement of fast neutron contamination caused by the presence of wedge and block using CR-39 detector

Conclusion: The presence of a wedge in a therapeutic high-energy photon field is a source of neutron contamination and may be of concern regarding clinical aspects. The results of this study show that superficial tissues such as skin will incur higher fast neutron contamination than the deep tissues.
