研究目的
To investigate the scattered photons with thickness of combined material slab as a function of off-axis distance for improving radiotherapy efficiency in beam modifier development.
研究成果
The stacking order of aluminum and copper in combined slabs significantly affects the scattered photons fluence. Combining materials in specific orders can optimize the radiotherapy efficiency by minimizing scattered photons. This study provides insights for developing more effective beam modifiers in radiotherapy.
研究不足
The study is limited to aluminum and copper materials and their combinations, with specific thicknesses. The impact of other materials or different combinations was not explored.
