Abstract

4 Mev transverse data[long dash]the depth doses at points on a line perpindicular to the central axis and parallel to one edge of the field[long dash]are examined. Their dependence on major axis, primary beam, focus-surface distance, depth, and energy are considered. Methods of constructing isodose curves from transverse data are described and explained. Full value may be obtained from a minimum of experimental data.
