Correction-Based Dose Calculation



Based on dose distributions measured in a water phantom Based on separating the dose into primary and scatter component using empirical methods (e.g. Clarkson scatter integration) scaling the fluence/dose with density (Equivalent Path Length method, Ray Tracing ...) Works well if electron transport and effect of inhomogeneities on scatter component can be ignored  Inhomogeneities were corrected by  
