Monte carlo simulation of bony heterogeneity effects on dose profile for small irradiation field in radiotherapy.
In the radiotherapy treatment planning of a lesion located in the head region with small field radiation beams, the heterogeneity corrections play an important role. In this work, we investigated the influence of a bony heterogeneity on dose profile inside a soft tissue phantom containing a bony mat...
