Introduction on Dose Optimisation

General Concept: The Mapping process or The Dose Kernel

From Source/ Energy Fluence Ψ

To Dose Distribution D

Dose 11.5 Gy

D = Ψ. A

A is the energy absorption per unit mass (dose) and unit energy fluence or the Dose Kernel

Ψ is the Source/Energy Fluence Function
