Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the role of neutrons in radiotherapy, particularly regarding high-energy megavoltage x-ray and electron therapy. The author reviews the history of neutron research in the field, from their accidental discovery as a by-product of x-ray technology to the present day. Measured levels and potential risks are examined, and methods of reducing neutron production are explored. The author argues that it is more important to focus on improving treatment beams and reducing surface doses than on eliminating neutrons entirely. The book concludes with a discussion of potential future developments in radiotherapy, including improvements in dose delivery precision and the use of CT scanning. The author's insights offer valuable guidance for medical professionals seeking to optimize radiotherapy techniques and improve patient outcomes.
