Description
Purpose: At energies above the (
Method and Materials: Research group used PHITS codes version 3.29, Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (JENDL-5.0), and the training data of Varian to simulate the head of TrueBeam LINAC 10 MV. The simulated Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) (Field size 10 x 10 cm
In measurement: PDD and crossline were measured with Blue Phantom, CC13S ion chamber, TrueBeam LINAC 10 MV photon; Photon and neutron dose at each point of twenty-five points around the head’s TrueBeam LINAC were measured with three Radio-photoluminescence for photon dose and three CR-39 detectors for neutron dose, when TrueBeam LINAC radiated 50 Gy in both field size 20 x 20, and 0.5 x 0.5 cm
Results: The measured neutron doses were in the range 0.4 – 12.53 mSv (0.5 x 0.5 cm
Conclusion: Measured and simulated photon neutron dose showed larger field size increased photon ambient dose distribution, and decreased neutron ambient dose distribution. In vice, smaller field size decreased photon ambient dose distribution and increased neutron ambient dose distribution.
