Resumen

La principal ventaja del uso de haces de protones en radioterapia radica en las características físicas de los protones, relacionadas con el patrón de distribución de dosis definido por el llamado diagrama de Bragg. Teniendo en cuenta estos beneficios, ha habido una expansión significativa de los centros en todo el mundo en los últimos años, con actualmente 108 centros de terapia de protones en funcionamiento, 33 en construcción y 38 en etapa de planificación (PTCOG, 2022). Según las Normas Básicas de Seguridad y Principios Reguladores (OIEA, 2020), los principales riesgos radiológicos en los centros de protones se han declarado y resumido ampliamente (Yonekura et al., 2016): 1. Exposición externa a radiación secundaria (neutrones y fotones) de la línea de luz. 2. Exposición externa por equipos activados, materiales de la instalación, agua y aire. 3. Exposición interna por inhalación de radioisótopos en aire activado.
