Estimation of backscatter from internal shielding in electron beam radiotherapy using Monte Carlo simulations (EGSnrc) and Gafchromic film measurements

Conclusions: This study provides an important clinical data to design internal shielding at the local clinical setup and confirms applicability of MC simulations in backscatter dose calculations at interfaces where physical measurements are difficult to perform.
