Abstract
A computer code, DAB-BE, has been written which can be used to calculate the absorbed energies of beta particles or electrons deposited inside human trabecular bone. The radiation source geometry can be either uniformly distributed in the whole bone or located at a fixed point inside the bone. Bremsstrahlung effects are not considered in these calculations. Results are presented and discussed for six monoenergetic sources of electrons distributed uniformly in a mathematical representation of the arm. In addition, a fixed point source configuration of 1.0 MeV monoenergetic electrons was studied.
