The production of 11C, 13N, 15O from C, N, O, and of 39Cl and 41Ar from Ar by a p(66)Be(49) clinical neutron therapy beam has been measured. The results of these measurements were used to estimate the production of other radionuclides, then to estimate airborne radioactivity in a typical neutron therapy room and radioactivity induced in body tissues during treatment. Only under special circumstances would airborne radioactivity necessitate a waiting period before entering a typical treatment room. The additional dose to a treatment volume due to decay products from radioactivity induced within that volume would amount to a few thousandths of the given dose and the additional body dose outside the treated volume would be a few millionths of the given dose.
已测量了通过临床中子治疗束p(66)Be(49)由碳、氮、氧产生11C、13N、15O，以及由氩产生39Cl和41Ar的情况。这些测量结果被用于估算其他放射性核素的产生量，进而估算典型中子治疗室中的空气放射性以及治疗期间人体组织中诱发的放射性。只有在特殊情况下，空气放射性才需要在进入典型治疗室前等待一段时间。由于治疗体积内诱发的放射性衰变产物而给治疗体积带来的额外剂量将达到给定剂量的千分之几，而治疗体积外的额外人体剂量将是给定剂量的百万分之几。
