Relationship between tissue-phantom ratio and percentage depth dose.
The relationship between the tissue-phantom ratio and central-axis percentage depth-dose data is derived. Relationships between the tissue-phantom ratio, tissue-maximum ratio, and tissue-air ratio are given. A simple model is developed which suggests that the degree to which the TPR and TMR are independent of distance from the source depends largely on the collimator/flattening-filter scatter.
