Physical and biological dosimetry at the barium sulphate-culture medium interface
- 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (USA)
Description
The present study suggests that a thin layer of Barium sulphate suspension forms an interface with tissues which results in high dose regions on both sides of the BSS-tissue interface when irradiated with 250 kVp X rays. The magnitude of dose increase depends on the density of the BSS. (U.K.)
