Abstract
Purpose
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are sensitive to scattered secondary neutrons from proton beam irradiation. This experimental in vitro study investigated risk of CIED errors during pencil beam proton therapy.Methods and Materials
We used 62 explanted CIEDs from 4 manufacturers; 49 CIEDs were subjected to a simulated clinical protocol with daily 2 Gy relative biological effectiveness fractions prescribed...Paper Details
