Conclusions

❑ Probably best to use when available o Too many uncertainties involved if converted to ,

, ❖ In medium (tissue composition) and consequently in mass stopping power

❑ For most tissues – no big difference between the two dose reporting modes

❑ Scaled water gives result very similar to dose to medium models.

❑ Avoid air in evaluation and optimisation processes o Large difference in mass stopping power, about 10 % o Redefine ait inside body contour to “thin” water
