Introduction on Dose Optimisation

The Mapping process or the Dose Kernel :

A dose distribution D is achievable , if there exist a source/ energy fluence function Ψ that is able to generate it!

▪ The dose space { D } defines the space of all physically achievable dose distributions

▪ The source/energy fluence space { Ψ } defines the space of all physically possible source/energy fluence functions
