Abstract
Provided is a method for estimating a total scatter factor in dose calculation for radiotherapy, wherein a linear accelerator, LINAC, is used to irradiate a medium. This method includes receiving geometric data of the LINAC, wherein the geometric data comprises geometric information about collimating devices of a LINAC head of the LINAC. The method further includes determining a head scatter factor based on a geometric head model using the received geometric data, wherein the head scatter factor quantifies a scatter contribution from the LINAC head, and determining a phantom scatter factor based on an empiric phantom scatter formula using the received geometric data, wherein the phantom scatter factor quantifies a scatter contribution from the irradiated medium. The method provides for determining an estimated total scatter factor using the determined head scatter factor and the determined phantom scatter factor.
