Previously developed computer codes and Monte Carlo sampling algorithms were used to calculate depth-dose distributions for isotropic and cloud source irradiations of a “man-equivalent” cylinder. These results can be applied directly to insult assessments to critical organs subjected to ICRU class A irradiation (maximum dose/minimum dose < 1.15) and a discussion is given on how organ insult assessments can be obtained for class B irradiations (not uniform because of radiation absorption).
