Surface dose reduction from bone interface in kilovoltage X‐ray radiation therapy: a Monte Carlo study of photon spectra

This study evaluated the dosimetric impact of surface dose reduction due to the loss of backscatter from the bone interface in kilovoltage (kV) X‐ray radiation therapy. Monte Carlo simulation was carried out using the EGSnrc code. An inhomogeneous phantom containing a thin water layer (0.5–5 mm) on...
