  • Title: A new technique for the calculation of scattered radiation from 60Co-teletherapy beams.
    Author: Edwards FH, Coffey CW.
    Journal: Radiology; 1979 Jul; 132(1):193-6. PubMed ID: 451198.
    Abstract:
    An alternative to the Clarkson technique for calculating total scattered radiation is presented. Resultant TAR values are compared with those obtained by the Clarkson technique for the same field. The new scatter technique is always more than 2.8 times faster than the Clarkson technique and more than 4 times faster on a large number of fields. The new approach appears to offer a simple and expedient alternative to the more traditional methods for iiregular field dose calculations.
