Monte Carlo study on fetal dose assessment for carbon beam craniospinal irradiation during pregnancy.

Key Points

• The study aims to estimate the fetal dose associated with carbon beam craniospinal irradiation during pregnancy.
• Conducted a Monte Carlo simulation to assess fetal dose exposure.
• Focused on carbon beam therapy techniques.
• Evaluated dose distribution in a model of pregnant anatomy.
• Estimated fetal dose levels provide valuable insights into carbon therapy safety during pregnancy.
• Findings suggest significant dose assessment implications for clinical practices involving pregnant individuals.
