Nontarget and Out-of-Field Doses from Electron Beam Radiotherapy
Life, 2022 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.

Technical Note: Out-of-field dose measurement at near surface with plastic scintillator detector. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2016 Out‐of‐field dose depends on multiple factors, making peripheral dosimetry complex. Only a few dosimeters have the required features for measuring peripheral dose. Plastic scintillator dosimeters (PSDs) offer numerous dosimetric advantages as required for out‐of‐field dosimetry.

Effect of organ size and position on out-of-field dose distributions during radiation therapy. [PDF]
Phys Med Biol, 2010 Mantle field irradiation has historically been the standard radiation treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma. It involves treating large regions of the chest and neck with high doses of radiation (up to 30 Gy). Previous epidemiological studies on the incidence of second malignancies following radiation therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma have revealed an increased ...
