Hello Aleksandras,
it is indeed possible to generate a beam for a dental
xray if you know the beam parameters, the geometry and the energy
spectrum. This is often done also because the construction's details
of the tube are unknown.
In Fluka you can use the SOURCE.F user routine to implement the
beam details and you can find information on how to do it in
the Fluka documentation and forum.
You can perhaps find more information and ideas on the topic in these two
papers:
- Kristina O. Makarevich, Victor F. Minenko, Semen A. Kutsen,
Modelling Dental X-ray Examinations for Assessment of Radiation
Doses to Patients, CERes Journal, Volume 2, Issue 1, 2016
Volume: 2, Issue: 1, June 2016
- Boone JM, Seibert JA, An accurate method for computer-generating
tungsten anode x-ray spectra from 30 to 140 kV, Med Phys. 1997
Nov;24(11):1661-70.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Andrea
