Evaluating the accuracy of electron pencil beam dosimetry based on Monte Carlo simulations using homogeneous and heterogeneous phantoms

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the electron pencil beam algorithm (PBA) regarding Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for irradiating homogeneous and heterogeneous phantoms. Methods: The PBA program was reproduced in the MATLAB software package. The lateral scattering factors were calc...
