Absorbed dose conversion factors for therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beams calculated by the Monte Carlo method

This thesis describes techniques for performing calculations of absorbed dose conversion factors for therapeutic kilovoltage and megavoltage x-ray beams, by application of the Monte Carlo method. These factors are low-energy x-ray backscatter factors, B, low- and medium-energy x-ray mass energy abso...
