Dosimetric advantage of using 6 MV over 15 MV photons in conformal therapy of lung cancer: Monte Carlo studies in patient geometries
Many lung cancer patients who undergo radiation therapy are treated with higher energy photons (15‐18 MV) to obtain deeper penetration and better dose uniformity. However, the longer range of the higher energy recoil electrons in the low‐density medium may cause lateral electronic disequilibrium and...
