Abstract:Introduction: This study presents an empirical method to model the electron beam percent depth dose curve (PDD) using the primary and tail functions in radiation therapy. The modeling parameters N and n can be used to derive the depth relative stopping power of the electron energy in radiation therapy.
Methods and Materials: The electrons PDD curves were modeled with the primary-tail function in this study. The primary function included exponential function and main parameters… Show more
