Table 1 Electron beam dose distribution (values might vary, e.g., with field size, source-skin-distance and tissue homogeneity), adapted from [22].
Beam energy | Surface dose | Therapeutic depth | Depth of 50% isodose |
|---|---|---|---|
6 MeV | 72% | 20 mm | 24 mm |
9 MeV | 78% | 30 mm | 38 mm |
12 MeV | 83% | 40 mm | 50 mm |
