Dose Calculation Methods
Absolute Calibration
in water
Relative Distribution in water
Tabulate & Interpolate
Reconstitute distribution in water by
distance, depth, & field size
Apply correction factors (inhomogeneity,
contour)
Model & fit parameters to emulate
measurements
Compute dose directly from beam
geometry & CT images
