An Analytical-empirical Calculation of Linear Attenuation Coefficient of Megavoltage Photon Beams
Background: In this study, a method for linear attenuation coefficient calculation was introduced. Methods: Linear attenuation coefficient was calculated with a new method that base on the physics of interaction of photon with matter, mathematical calculation and x-ray spectrum consideration. The ca...
