摘要：

Thermoluminescent dosimetry, analytical techniques and Monte Carlo calculations were used to estimate the dose of neutron radiation in a treatment room with a linear electron accelerator of 18 MV. Measurements were carried out through neutron ambient dose monitors which include pairs of thermo-luminescent dosimeters TLD 600 ((LiF)-Li-6: Mg, Ti) and TLD 700 ((LiF)-Li-7: Mg, Ti), which were placed inside a paraffin spheres. The measurements has allowed to use NCRP 151 equations, these expressions are useful to find relevant dosimetric quantities. In addition, photoneutrons produced by linac head were calculated through MCNPX code taking into account the geometry and composition of the linac head principal parts. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
