    This study proposes a standardized method for neutron therapy dose calculations using total absorbed dose (Dt) and gamma ray absorbed dose (Dgamma). This approach simplifies calculations and allows for accurate determination of the total effective absorbed dose (De) for effective biological weighting.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Radiotherapy Physics

    Background:

    • Accurate dose calculation is crucial for effective neutron therapy.
    • Existing methods may lack standardization, leading to potential inaccuracies.
    • Neutron therapy requires specific dosimetric parameters for precise treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a standardized approach for neutron therapy dose calculations.
    • To simplify the determination of absorbed doses (Dt and Dgamma).
    • To introduce a method for calculating the total effective absorbed dose (De) for biological weighting.

    Main Methods:

    • Standardization of irradiation techniques with fixed fields and constant focus-skin distance.
    • Development of simplified equations for calculating Dt and Dgamma.

    • Main Results:

    • A proposed standardization simplifies dose calculations in neutron therapy.
    • Equations for absorbed doses Dt and Dgamma are derived.
    • The method facilitates the calculation of total effective absorbed dose (De).
    • Practical application demonstrated for opposing field and isocentric irradiations.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed standardization offers a more straightforward and accurate method for neutron therapy dose calculations.
    • This approach enhances the precision of treatment planning by simplifying the determination of key dosimetric parameters.
    • The method is applicable to various irradiation techniques, including fixed and rotating beams.
