TABLE II.

Correction factors (C) for plastic scintillation detector, obtained using LCT and MC. The LCT factor errors correspond to the ±1.5% error range estimated by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 61 (Ref. 23). Monte Carlo errors correspond to ±1 standard deviation of the simulation estimated with the batch method. Correction factors have no unit.
