The influence of bone on 45 MV photon dose distributions

JR McLaren, AB Kirchner and PH McGinley

In an attempt to assess the pertubation of 45 MV depth dose distribution in a water phantom equipped with various thicknesses of bone-equivalent plastic. An increased dose was observed immediately behind the bone material and a reduced dose was found for points located greater than 5 cm behind the bone-equivalent plastic. The most significant change of the depth dose curve was produced by bone located in the dose build-up region.
