| Abstrakt: | The intensity and quality of scattered radiations incident on the eye during mantle-field therapy were measured for 4-MV x rays. Beam-shaping appliances were found to introduce considerable soft scatter. Eye shields reduce radiation exposure from the anterior field approximately threefold. |
