Use of an electronic personal dosimeter for determination of the dose received by radiotherapy patients in areas off the central ionizing radiation beam

Description
Radiotherapy patients receive a significant dose outside the irradiated area. In this work, such irradiated areas were represented by the prostate, head and neck. It was found that when irradiating the head or neck, the dose received by the chest is about 2 - 6 times higher than when irradiating the prostate. The relative inter-patient dispersion variance, however, is similar (about 9 - 14 %). (orig.)
