The Role of Scattered Radiation in the Dosimetry of Small Device Structures

Estimation of peripheral dose from Co60 beam in water phantom measured in Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory, Pakistan

“…Results of this study completely agree with previous studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and the proposed mathematical model has been suggested for peripheral dose. Peripheral dose is an important consideration when delivering radiation doses to patients with megavoltage photon beams.…”

“…It has been proven before in near and distant past by many authors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] that there exists a significant et al 2 cited BIER III report which summarizes the threshold dose values for different organs, like breast, lungs, thyroid, gonads and foetus in pregnant women. A single fraction of more than 10 cGy can induce serous foetus damage.…”

A comprehensive comparison of CEPXS/ONELD calculations of dose enhancement with the Co-60 data set of Wall and Burke

“…However, we are unsure of the physical process responsible for this effect. 4. In support of current experimental work on low-dose rate testing [ 2 ] , 3-D Monte Carlo calculations of photon spectra should be made at various locations in different CO-60 gamma cells.…”
