Effects of the tissue-air interface in calculations of beta-particle skin dose at a depth of 70 microns.
The effects that the tissue-air interface has on the basal-layer dose at a depth of 70 microns from beta emitters on the skin surface are studied using Monte Carlo calculations. The dose is decreased at small lateral distances from a point source but is increased at large distances.
