    Electron beam therapy planning is complex due to uneven air gaps and sloping contours. This study simplifies depth dose calculations for oblique beams using inverse square law and obliquity factors, aiding manual treatment planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Electron beam therapy planning faces challenges with uneven air gaps, beam obliquity, and sloping contours.
    • Accurate dosimetry is crucial for effective radiation delivery in cancer treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a method for calculating electron beam depth dose distributions under oblique incidence.
    • To simplify dosimetry calculations in complex treatment scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized inverse square law and obliquity factors to adjust depth dose data.
    • Determined obliquity factors for electron beams across a range of energies (6-22 MeV).

    Main Results:

    • A method was established to calculate oblique beam depth dose distributions from normal incidence data.
