Abstract:Purpose: This work proposes a methodology to build electron beam models capable to accurately represent clinical beams using a simple assumption that it can be represented by a linear combination of monoenergetic beams. Simulations with beam aperture were also performed in order to study the influence of the beam direction on Percentage Depth Dose, PDD. Method and Materials: The representation of a clinical electron beam is made assigning weighting factors to each monoenergetic component. For this purpose, dep… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
