Description

Commissioning of the treatment planning system includes the accuracy of dose calculation in the inhomogeneous absorber. Several results of measurements of inhomogeneity correction factors (CFs) have been published. However, a dependence of CFs on beam energy may preclude such results from being applied to the general user's beam. The aim of the study was to assess the dependence of CFs on the photon beam energy
