Innovative nano-shielding for minimizing stray radiation dose in external radiation therapy: A promising approach to enhance patient safety
This study investigates the effectiveness of novel nanocomposite shielding materials in reducing out-of-field radiation doses during radiation therapy, employing Geant4 Monte Carlo (MC) simulations alongside an anthropomorphic female phantom. The research focuses on two radiation modalities: 6 MV beams with and without flattening filters. Utilizing the Geant4 MC code, detailed simulations of a Varian Clinac 2100C/D linear accelerator and an ICRP-145 mesh-type human phantom were conducted to estimate the doses to out-of-field organs from unintended secondary radiation. This involved simulating a comprehensive linac model, including all relevant beam-line components, and assessing the shielding effects of three different nanocomposites doped with metal nanoparticles at various thicknesses. The nanocomposites, comprising Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with PtO2, IrO2, and Bi2O3 nanoparticles, were evaluated for their potential to reduce patient organ doses from stray photon doses. The results showed that these materials could significantly lower radiation exposure to non-target tissues.

Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
