Low-energy photon dose deposition in tissue slab and spherical phantoms
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5620169
Monte Carlo computer codes were employed to calculate depth doses for parallel beams of low-energy, monoenergetic photons incident on slab and spherical phantoms. Photon energies ranged from 10 to 150 keV. Phantom compositions include: ICRU 4-element tissue, ICRU 10-element tissue, and a tissue-substitute plastic. Tabular data are presented for 0.007, 0.3 and 1.0 g/cm/sup 2/ depths. Results are compared with calculations of other workers and with experimental data available for the tissue-substitute plastic. 20 references, 22 figures, 17 tables.
