This topical review provides an up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical aspects
of therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry. Kilovoltage x-ray beams have the property …

A software program, SpekCalc, is presented for the calculation of x-ray spectra from tungsten
anode x-ray tubes. SpekCalc was designed primarily for use in a medical physics context …

Abstract BEAMnrc is a Monte Carlo simulation system (Med. Phys. 22, 1995, 503–524) for
modelling radiotherapy sources which was developed as part of the OMEGA project to …

The attenuating properties of several types of lead (Pb)‐based and non‐Pb radiation
shielding materials were studied and a correlation was made of radiation attenuation …

A new approach to the calculation of the x‐ray spectrum emerging from an x‐ray tube is
proposed. Theoretical results for the bremsstrahlung cross section appearing in the literature …

The penetration characteristics of electron beams into x‐ray targets are investigated for
incident electron kinetic energies in the range. The frequency densities of electrons …

Abstract The GEANT4-based GATE Monte Carlo (MC) platform was initially focused on PET
and SPECT simulations. The new release v6. 0 (February 2010) proposes new tools …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the weight of non‐Pb radiation
shielding materials can be minimized by structuring the material as a bilayer composed of …

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to characterize the x‐ray volume imager (XVI), the cone‐
beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit mounted on the Elekta Synergy linac, with F1 …

In this work, the authors have evaluated ten different ionization chambers for the relative
dosimetry of kilovoltage x‐ray beams in the energy range of 50–280 kVp. Percentage depth …
