[Gate-users] Dose Value in mGy

[Elia Alessio]

Dear Emmanuel,

it depends on what you need to do. For example, if we consider a water box and you want an average dose released to the whole box, the sum-up approach is in principle ok. The easiest way would be to think in terms of energy deposited instead of dose: you can sum up all the contributions for every single voxel and divide for the total mass of your water box.

Maybe you were referring to a more specific problem and I misunderstood your question?

Cheers,
Alessio

Subject: [Gate-users] Dose Value in mGy


Dear Gate-Users,

Please, just a quick question about dose in mGy. Earlier on in a mail in the Gate-User mailing list. I ask about how one could get the dose voxels as one value and I had a reply that I should sum all the dose voxels matrices and multiply by 1000 to get in mGy. My supervisor did not agree with me on that. Please, is there a publication I could refer to.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Emmanuel
