Radiation dosimetry

a dose calculation approach that builds a broad beam from narrow pencil beams whose lateral spread is described by multiple-scattering theory.

In radiation dosimetry, pencil beam algorithm refers to a dose calculation approach that builds a broad beam from narrow pencil beams whose lateral spread is described by multiple-scattering theory. This meaning comes from K R Hogstrom (1981) in Physics in Medicine & Biology.[1]
