Effect of dose-delivery time for flattened and flattening filter-free photon beams based on microdosimetric kinetic model.

The effect of dose-delivery time with flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) photon beams based on microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) was investigated in this study. Monte Carlo simulation with the particle and heavy ion transport code system (PHITS) was performed to calculate the...
