Energy of the secondary electrons in soft tissue from MV beams

Sun, 19 Jul 2015 22:56:26 +0000

Hello, I am writing from London but trained at the PeterMac. I am trying to work out what happens in tumour when hit by 4 - 6 MV beam in the presence of gold nanoparticles. Hence my interest in section 8.3.2 (webpage above) where it appears that the average secondary electron liberated by 6 MV photon has 1- 2 MeV. Could anyone please give me the references where all this data (energy of secondary electrons page 8.3.2 ONLY) comes from, as I need to quote it for possible PhD presentation. Many thanks for your hep and any input.

Mobile phone apps

I've seen a few different apps for Rad Onc calculations, each one a bit different but serves its purpose nicely when the PC is not nearby. I got one on the Droid market called B.E.D. Calculator that works just fine for doing some quick dose comparisons. What apps have you found useful, or what kind of app would you like to see created that you think you would actually use?
