Comparison of dosimetric characteristics of physical wedge and enhanced dynamic wedge in inhomogeneous medium using Monte Carlo simulations

BACKGROUND: Widely used physical wedges in clinical radiotherapy lead to beam intensity attenuation as well as the beam hardening effect, which must be considered. Dynamic wedges devised to overcome the physical wedges (PWs) problems result in dosimetry complications due to jaw movement while the be...
