A study of the quantitative aspects of backscattering of electrons has been published recently by Klevenhagen et al. (ibid., vol.27, p.363-73, 1982). To assess the full effect that the backscatter electrons have on the dose distribution in the region close to the scatterer-tissue interface, it is necessary to know the penetration of these electrons in the medium. This aspect has been studied in the work reported.
