Recommendations for the determination of absorbed dose from photon and electron beams with energies between 1 MeV and 50 MeV used for radiotherapy

Creators

Description

The purpose of this report is to provide radiological physicists with an accurate method for the determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of photon and electron beams with energies between 1 MeV and 50 MeV, used for radiation therapy, and for the calculation of dose to water

Abstract (French)

Le present rapport a pour but de proposer aux physiciens d'hopital un protocole pratique, destine a la determination des caracteristiques qualitatives et quantitatives des differents faisceaux de photons et d'electrons d'energie comprise entre 1 MeV, et 50 MeV, utilises en radiotherapie, et a la mesure de la dose absorbee dans l'eau
