A new tissue segmentation method to calculate 3D dose in small animal radiation therapy
Abstract Background In pre-clinical animal experiments, radiation delivery is usually delivered with kV photon beams, in contrast to the MV beams used in clinical irradiation, because of the small size of the animals. At this medium energy range, however, the contribution of the photoelectric effect...
