CALCULATION OF THE DOSE DISTRIBUTION IN CIRCUMAXIAL ROTATION THERAPY WITH 280-kvp RADIATION

Journal Article · · Radiology (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4842851
The minimal modifications in a previously devised method were determined ia order to make it applicable to rotation techniques with conventional deep therapy x rays. The experimental dose distribution was determined in a water phantom due to circumaxial rotation with given irradiation conditions, and the distribution was then compared with the distributions calculated on different assumptions or approximations. A single isodose chart was not used for each field size, regardless of the focus-skin distance, but acceptable agreement between calculated and experimental distributions was obtained with only a limited number of isodose charts.
