Reduction in stray radiation dose using a body‐shielding device during external radiation therapy

With the purpose of reducing stray radiation dose (SRD) in out‐of‐field region (OFR) during radiotherapy with 6 MV intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), a body‐shielding device (BSD) was prepared according to the measurements obtained in experimental testing. In experimental testing, optimal...
