Abstract:The main difficulty of the determination of the absorbed dose distribution in a patient's body consists of calculating the scattered radiation contribution. As shown in [4,9,12], the error of calculation of the scattered radiation dose by simple one-dimensional methods (calculation of effective radiological thickness, Bataut's equation, etc.) in some cases can be rather large (up to 20% and more in case of elaborate heterogenic structures).As shown in [5][6][7], the calculation of the dose absorbed by a three-… Show more
