Under the collapsed cone approximation:
•
Scerma does not vary with θ within ΔΩ

(Bθ, bθ constant along transport line)
and scerma generated, emitted and
absorbed along transport line
θ
and assuming:
•
Scerma generated per unit r is constant
Overall, exiting voxel 2:
within the same voxel (scerma does not
vary considerably within voxels)
