Calculation of excess dose to the eye phantom due to a distanced shielding for electron therapy in head and neck cancers

For superficial lesions, the electrons may be used for radiation therapy. The high energy photons and electrons are produced by a Linear accelerator (Linac). Many of electron fields need the shielding of normal or critical organs. The electron shields are usually lead slabs with few millimeter thick...
