INHOMOGENEITY OF DOSE DISTRIBUTION IN ANIMALS SUBJECTED TO WHOLE-BODY IRRADIATION WITH 250-kvp X-RAYS
BS>Even though bilateral or more complicated exposure procedures are of considerable importance in total-body exposure of large animals or man, these measures may not result in even approximately the same dose to different tissues. Because of body contour, depth-dose patterns determined in a rice-and-wax phantom contoured to the shape of a dog were appreciably different from values calculated from published standard depth-dose tables In addition to differences due to contour, the tissue traversed by the beam makes considerable difference. Depthdose patterns in a cadaver dog, compared with those in a contoured rice phantom, differed by as much as plus or minus 30%. (auth)
