Monte-Carlo Modelling For Evaluation Of Two Different Calculation Algorithms
Modeling of linac head (VARIAN Trilogy) for 6 MeV photon beam was performed using BEAMnrc code package (BEAMnrc 2017). The DOSXYZnrc code was used to determine the percentage depth dose (PDD profiles) and beam profiles for different symmetric square ...

Internal lead shielding for clinical electron treatments. [PDF]
Abstract Electron beams are often used to treat superficial lesions of the lip, cheek, nose, and ear. Lead is frequently used to block distal structures. It is customary to place an internal bolus of low atomic number in between the tissue and the lead to reduce electron backscatter from the lead.
