A Method for Calculating Scatter Dose of Irregular Fields / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To find a method for calculating the scatter dose of irregular fields. Methods The original Day function was improved to vary with radiation depth, and the improved Day function was used for irregular fields to calculate scatter dose. Results The accuracy was greatly improved by making Day function depend on radiation depth, and the error was within 1.5%. Conclusion This method can be used to calculate the scatter dose of irregular fields as well as rectangular fields.
