Dose distribution near thin titanium plate for skull fixation irradiated by a 4-MV photon beam

Dose distribution near thin titanium plate for skull fixation irradiated by a 4-MV photon beam

To investigate the effects of scattered radiation when a thin titanium plate (thickness, 0.05 cm) used for skull fixation in cerebral nerve surgery is irradiated by a 4-MV photon beam. We investigated the dose distribution of radiation inside a phantom that simulates a human head fitted with a thin...
