COBALT-60 DEPTH-DOSE CORRECTION AS DETERMINED BY TRANSMISSION DOSE MEASUREMENTS
A simple straight-bore collimator, with standard 25-r Victoreen dosimeter, mounted to the primary beam shield of a rotating Co/sup 60/ unit was used for depth dose measurements. The patient's transmission is determined by making one measurement during the course of treatment and another with the patient removed. The effective absorption coefficient is determined from a family of curves which relate percentage transmission and patient diameters. (C.H.)
