The simulation on dose distributions of high energy electron beams.

고에너지 전자선의 선량분포에 관한 모의계산

This work was peformed as a basic research in the application of Monte Carlo methods for planning treatments by electron beams. Depth doses, beam profiles and isodose curves in water phantoms were calculated for monoenergetic electron beams with 6, 9, and 12 MeV. The calculated depth doses and beam profiles are almost consistent with their known values. If allowances are made for distributions in electron beam energies, we are confident that the agreement between our calculations and measured values will significantly improve. In conclusion, our work shows that similar Monte Carlo calculations could be applied for geometries In human body in planning electron beam treatments.
