Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology

Context:

  • Radiation therapy planning relies heavily on accurate dose distribution calculations.
  • Measuring dose distributions, especially for electron beams, is time-consuming and requires extensive data acquisition across various parameters and depths.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the feasibility of calculating complex dose distributions from limited, pre-measured data.
  • To reduce the experimental effort required for electron beam dosimetry in radiation therapy.

Summary:

  • This research presents a method to calculate dose distributions for 6-10 MeV electron beams from a Neptun 10p linear accelerator.
  • The method utilizes a linear transformation of pre-measured depth dose and cross-distribution data.
  • The transformation factor is dependent on electron energy for depth dose and additionally on tissue depth and source-surface-distance for cross-distribution.
