Use of isodose rate pictures for the shielding design of a proton therapy centre
Description
The advantage of calculated dose rate field visualisation is demonstrated by a shielding example taken from the Rinecker Proton Therapy Center (RPTC), which is being constructed in Munich, Germany. The example consists of the representation of various shielding alternatives. This paper will discuss the following: basic conditions, the resulting isodose rate pictures and the principle method for their creation. (authors)
