Physics and nuclear data in radiation therapy
Description
Cancer patients can receive more sophisticated radiation therapy technology and enjoy a better quality of life. To assess the benefit of these therapies, it is important to evaluate the dose to patient with high accuracy (< 5%). Nuclear data is necessary for the evaluation. The role of nuclear data not only in particle therapy but in photon therapy is briefly discussed. (author)
