Feasibility study for dose calculation with a radiation treatment planning system using a fixed-size electron cone applicator for small electron fields
The results demonstrate the feasibility of calculating monitor units and dose distributions for small fixed-size electron cone applicators using a commercial TPS combined with relative output factors. This approach offers a reliable method for dose calculation in specialized electron therapy applications.
