title: Dose distributions in regions containing beta sources: irregularly shaped source distributions in homogeneous media.
abstract: Methods are introduced by which dose rate distributions due to nonuniform, irregularly shaped distributions of beta emitters can be calculated using dose rate distributions for uniform, spherical source distributions. The dose rate distributions can be written in the MIRD formalism.
