DOI: 10.1002/acm2.13514
Abstract: Abstract Our understanding of low dose, out‐of‐field radiation and their radiobiological effects are limited, in part due to the rapid technological advances in external beam radiotherapy, especially for non‐coplanar and dynamic techniques. Reliable comparisons of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/life12060858
Abstract: In clinical radiotherapy, the most important aspects are the dose distribution in the target volume and healthy organs, including out-of-field doses in the body. Compared to photon beam radiation, dose distribution in electron beam radiotherapy… read more here.
