Implications of using a 50-μm-thick skin target layer in skin dose coefficient calculation for photons, protons, and helium ions
In a previous study, a set of polygon-mesh (PM)-based skin models including a 50-μm-thick radiosensitive target layer were constructed and used to calculate skin dose coefficients (DCs) for idealized external beams of electrons. The results showed that the calculated skin DCs were significantly diff...
