Modeling Silicon Diode Dose Response in Radiotherapy Fields using Fluence Pencil Kernels
In radiotherapy, cancer is treated with ionizing radiation, most commonly bremsstrahlung photons from electrons of several MeV. Secondary electrons produced in photon-interactions results in dose deposition. The treatment response is low for low doses, raises sharply for normal treatment doses and s...
