Neutron dose measurement in carbon ion radiation therapy at HIRFL(IMP)
【摘要】 For radiation protection purposes,the neutron dose in carbon ion radiation therapy at the HIRFL(Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou) was investigated.The neutron dose from primary 12C ions with a specific energy of 100 MeV/u delivered from SSC was roughly measured with a standard Anderson-Broun rem-meter using a polyethylene target at various distances.The result shows that a maximum neutron dose contribution of 19 mSv in a typically surface tumor treatment was obtained,which is less than 1% of the planed heavy ion dose and is in reasonable agreement with other reports.Also the γ-ray dose was measured in this experiment using a thermo luminescent detector.
