Estimation of backscatter from internal shielding in electron beam radiotherapy using Monte Carlo simulations (EGSnrc) and Gafchromic film measurements
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to estimate the backscatter electron dose in internal shielding during electron beam therapy using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and Gafchromic film measurements. Materials and Methods: About 6 and 9 MeV electron beams from a Varian 2100C linac were simulated usi...
