Conclusions
Probably best to use
when available
o
Too many uncertainties involved if converted to
❖
In Medium and in mass stopping power
For most tissues – no big difference between the two dose reporting modes
Scaled water gives result very similar to dose to medium models.
Avoid air (and bone) in evaluation and optimisation processes
o
Large difference in mass stopping power, about 10 %
