    Two analytic models for electron central-axis depth dose data were evaluated. A polynomial model offers higher accuracy (1-2% deviation) for radiotherapy dose calculations, outperforming existing two-parameter models.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiotherapy
    • Dosimetry

    Background:

    • Accurate electron central-axis depth dose data is crucial for effective radiotherapy planning.
    • Existing analytical models for depth dose data vary in accuracy and applicability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate existing analytic representations of electron central-axis depth dose data.
    • To develop and validate a more accurate polynomial model for depth dose data interpolation.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of analytic models against standard depth dose data sets.
    • Development of a novel polynomial fitting method with zero slope at maximum dose.
    • Determination of model parameters via matrix inversion.

    Main Results:

    • The Shabason and Hendee two-parameter model provides ~2% accuracy.
    • The developed polynomial model achieves ~1% standard deviation and ~2% maximum deviation from data.
    • Fifth-order polynomials typically offer the most acceptable fit, with parameters tabulated for standard data sets.

    Conclusions:

    • The polynomial model is recommended for accurate interpolation of electron depth dose data between 100% and 10% depth.
    • This model enhances precision in radiotherapy dose calculations.
    • The method allows for extension to cover depths below 100% dose depth.
