[Model calculations of the Energy distribution of scattered radiation in a patient (author's transl)].
To obtain quantitative results on scattered radiation produced in a patient by externally applied x-rays or gamma rays, the model of a pencil beam penetrating a water layer is used. By means of the Monte-Carlo method, the energy distribution of scattered photons in a plane parallel to the absorbing layer is calculated for primary photon energies from 60 to 1250 keV. This yields information on the distribution of single-scatter and multiple-scatter photons.
