Abstract

A true three-dimensional algorithm has been developed at the Gustave Roussy Institute, which can evaluate the dose distribution in inhomogeneous media. In this paper, an explanation is given that, in our view, problems of inhomogeneity cannot be solved without accounting for the third dimension and its contribution to scattered dose calculation.
