Abstract

Dose distribution was evaluated under vaseline and thin lead used as surface bolus, in case with scattering filter and without, for 9-MeV electron using chambers in water phantom. The results were as follows: 1. The skin dose can be remarkably increased with thin lead bolus than with convensional bolus. 2. The skin dose over $110\%$ in the 0.6mm thin lead bolus compared with the maximum dose in normal irradiation, so skin burn or any other complications may be occured in patients.
