The study illustrates that optimal energy for incident electrons is 9.5 MeV, improving dose accuracy.
Gamma analysis confirmed the model's precision across multiple field sizes up to 30 × 30 cm².
Utilizing the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code, the model effectively predicts dose rates for different flattening modes.
The validated model enhances treatment accuracy and patient safety in advanced radiotherapy techniques.
