Description

The dose distributions in a spherical phantom irradiated by a Leksell Gamma Unit have been calculated using the EGS4 Monte Carlo code. In the simulation, the photon beams are considered to emanate from point sources, ignoring the scattering from source and collimating systems. The calculated results are in good agreement with results obtained with semiconductor diodes. (author)
