Charge particle equilibrium and Dose in exambleB1

Hi ,

I a have doubt regarding the calculation of the dose in Sensitive detector . Is there any condition for the Size of the detector to attain CPE condition to obtain the dose as Edep/mass .Because if we dont consider the CPE condition the energy deposited by Photon per Mass will not equal to dose .

please could anyone cla

rify this doubt .

It is a question of word …

In exampleB1, CPE condition is not guaranteed , therefore energy deposited per mass can be not equal to kerma. Nevertheless, this edep per mass is what is usually called “absorbed dose” in literature.

For an example of equilibrium, see examples/extended/medical/FanoCavity and FanoCavity2
