Effects of tissue heterogeneity and comparisons of collapsed cone and Monte Carlo fast neutron patient dosimetry using the University of Washington clinical neutron therapy system (CNTS)
Phys Med Biol. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/ad0e38. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFast neutron therapy is a high-LET radiation treatment modality offering advantages over low LET radiations. Multileaf collimator (MLC) technology reduces normal-tissue dose (toxicity) and makes neutron therapy more comparable to MV x-ray treatments. Published clinical-trial and other experiences with fast neutron therapy are reported. Early comparative studies failed to consider differences in target-dose spatial conformality between x-ray and neutron treatments, which is especially important for organs-at-risk (OAR) close to tumor ta...
