Reconstruction of the Bremsstrahlung spectrum a medical linear accelerator from the gradient of the depth dose curve in a water container

Description

Determining the spectral distribution of the emitted photon medical linear accelerator (linac) used in radiotherapy treatment is extremely important for performing dosimetry calculations as to accurately calculate the therapeutic dose distributions. Since directly measure the spectrum is very complicated, this paper presents an indirect technique to accurately calculate the spectra of Bremsstrahlung photons emitted by linacs.
