Characterization of Compton-scatter imaging with an analytical simulation method

By collimating the photons scattered when a megavoltage therapy beam interacts with the patient, a Compton-scatter image may be formed without the delivery of an extra dose. To characterize and assess the potential of the technique, an analytical model for simulating scatter images was developed and...
