Abstract:Background and ObjectiveAvoiding the underlying healthy tissue over‐exposure during breast intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is owing to the use of some dedicated radioprotection disks during patient irradiation. The originated contaminant photons from some widely used double‐layered shielding disks including PMMA+Cu, PTFE+steel, and Al+Pb configurations during the breast IOERT have been evaluated through a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation approach.MethodsProduced electron beam with energies of 6, 8, 10,… Show more
