dose increase at tissue-air interfaces in a magnetic field because secondary electrons leaving tissue curve back and deposit their energy.

In medical physics, electron return effect refers to dose increase at tissue-air interfaces in a magnetic field because secondary electrons leaving tissue curve back and deposit their energy. This meaning comes from Raaijmakers (2005) in Physics in Medicine and Biology.[1]
