SU‐FF‐T‐404: Dosimetric Effect of a Small Air Cavity for Clinical Electron Beams: A Monte Carlo Study

Purpose: This study investigated dosimetric changes in a water phantom when a small air cavity was presented at the central axis of a clinical electron beam. 6, 9 and 16 MeV electron beams with a 10×10 cm2 applicator and cutout produced by a Varian 21EX linear accelerator were used. Methods and Mate...
