Dose distribution for cobalt-60 tangential irradiation of the breast and chest wall

Journal Article · · Acta Radiol., Ther., Phys., Biol., v. 12, no. 1, pp. 40-46
The surface dose and the dose to underlying superficial layers for cobalt-60 tangential irradiation of the breast and chest wall areas have been measured. LiF-teflon disc dosimeters were used. Oblique incidence, surface curvature and the presence of special breast applicators influenced the dose distributions. (SW)
