Monte Carlo based comparison of constant vs. variable RBE for proton therapy patients
(Master thesis, 2017-06-21)Around the world, the use of protons as an alternative to photons radiation therapy of cancer is becoming more widespread. The motivations for this is that protons enable a reduction of the radiation dose to health tissue ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of neutron doses from pencil beam scanning proton therapy
(Master thesis, 2017-06-13)Introduction: Proton therapy is a more advanced form of radiotherapy that allows better dose conformity to the tumor and a homogeneous dose distribution. A side effect however is the production of secondary neutrons generated ...
