Description
A simple method is given for the computer calculation of two- dimensional dose distributions in 60Co-teletherapy, with stationary and moving beams. Wedges of constant slope may be used and corrections for oblique incidence and for tissue inhomogeneities are included. The method is restricted to rectangular fields and coplanar beams.
