Evaluating the Effects of Field Size on Beam Homogeneity Coefficient in the Superficial Radiotherapy Machine Using Empirical Method and Simulation

Introduction Superficial X-ray therapy is one of the most important treatment methods in radiotherapy especially in the treatment of superficial skin lesions (Up to 300 kVp). Quality of the X-ray beam that can be expressed by Half-Value Layer (HVL), are important indices for this type of treatment e...
