SKIN SPARING WITH COBALT-60 TELETHERAPY. COMMENT ON CONE DESIGN
Journal Article
·
· Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes
Skin reactions in patients treated with Co/sup 60/ teletherapy at short cone-to-skin distances are mildest when an electron filter of intermediate atomic number closes the end of the cone. If the end of the cone is open the secondary electrons from the walls of the collimator increase markedly the severity of the skin reaction. (auth)
