A GEOMETRICAL AND EXPLORATORY TESTAMENT OF THE DOSE AT THE CENTRAL RAY OF THE DIVERGING GAMMA RADIATION BEAM USED IN RADIOTHERAPY

Rangaraj Bhattacharjee

Abstract


The foremost intention of the study is to reaffirm the relevance of the phenomenon that the dose at the central ray of a diverging Gamma radiation beam used in Radiotherapy is maximum. This study has been conducted in an all together different dimension - mathematical dimension using Pythagoras Theorem and Inverse Square law. After experimentation and thorough analysis, it has been found that the assumption is valid from a mathematical perspective.
