| ABSTRACT |
|
The generalized Batho method, proposed by Webb and Fox, which is a method of calculation of dose correction factor for the multilayer of heterogeneous tissue, is complex even for a few kind of tissues. The method was modified for the purpose of getting a simple method that divide the multilayer of heterogeneous tissues into some groups of adjacent-tissue pairs. This new method could reduce the number of exponential terms and the time for calculating the dose correction factors by manual and computer calculation. |
