Equations for the transport of scerma

1. I need to be efficient

∆r

generated at each point along a

transport line

θ

∆r

Under the collapsed cone approximation:

Scerma does not vary with θ within ΔΩ

1

2

(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)
