[Gate-users] Radiotherapy Example 6

[Awad Almarhaby]

Dears Experts,

I have two questions regarding to radiotherapy example 6 (proton beam in a heterogeneous phantom).

1- There was only one dose actor in the main macro file named "IDD.txt", but after running the example another dose actor resulted called "IDD-Dose-to-Water" as well. I am confused between these two actors and how they were generated?

2- When higher density materials, such as lead, was  embedded at the first layer of the water phantom instead of bone , dose to higher density materials was lower than that to water which is not as expected. Dose supposed to be higher for material with higher Z numbers.

Many thanks in advance,
Awad
