Dosimetry studies of small fields in homogeneous and inhomogeneous media for high energy photons

Dose decreases rapidly for photon field sizes smaller than the range of the laterally scattered electrons. The reduction in dose leads to dose non-uniformity and the degree of dose non-uniformity depends on the shape of the tumor. The dose reduction due to lateral electronic nonequilibrium increa...
