Equations for the transport of scerma

generated at each point along a

transport line

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

and assuming:

Scerma generated per unit r is constant

within the same voxel (scerma does not

vary considerably within voxels)
