I think this tells us the ratio will decrease but the absolute value of the radiation difference will remain the same if the tumor is required to get the same amount of rads.

Regardless of how far away the source is the tumor must receive the same amount of energy. So if I work in reverse order does the radiation the skin is exposed to remain constant with any distance? This would be accomplished by just increaseing the output from the machine. The way it was...

Let’s say you are irradiating a tumor that needs to receive a certain dose of energy. For the tumor to receive this radiation it must pass through the skin. Because it decays with r^2 the skin sees more radiation then the tumor and will always receive more (unless you use multiport not...
