How can MCNP code be used to calculate photoneutron doses in radiotherapy?

In summary, the MCNP code is a powerful tool that can be used to calculate photoneutron doses in radiotherapy. This code utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation approach to accurately model the interactions between photons and matter, allowing for the prediction of photoneutron production and subsequent dose calculations. This method has been shown to provide more accurate results compared to traditional analytical methods, making it an important tool in the field of radiotherapy. Additionally, the MCNP code allows for the customization of input parameters, making it a versatile and adaptable tool for different treatment scenarios. Overall, the use of MCNP code in radiotherapy can greatly improve the precision and accuracy of photoneutron dose calculations, ultimately leading to better treatment planning and patient outcomes.

I worked monte carlo simulation for dose calculations in field radiotherapy (external and brachytherapy) using EGSnrc and MCNP codes.
