Soft tissue and water substitutes for megavoltage photon beams: An EGSnrc‐based evaluation

In this work, soft‐tissue equivalence of water, polystyrene, PMMA and water equivalence of polystyrene, and PMMA has been assessed for multiple megavoltage photon beams and field sizes. EGSnrc based Monte Carlo (MC) codes, BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc are used for the linac head modeling and the phantom do...
