Monte Carlo modeling of radiation dose from radiation therapy with superficial x‐rays
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Superficial x‐rays (50–100 kVp) are used for treating non‐melanoma skin cancer and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). At these energies, the photoelectric effect significantly increases absorbed dose to bone compared to soft tissue.
