It is shown that, provided the effective atomic number remains constant, there is a general relationship between the variation of scatter with density and the variation with geometry of the system. A simplified analysis of the scatter contribution in water equivalent bodies is presented. This analysis leads to the definition of relative scatter absorption factors and the values of these factors in water equivalent materials are found by experiment for radiation with a half-value layer of 1·5 mm Cu. By the application of the general relationship between density of the body and geometry of the system values of the relative scatter absorption factors in bodies of other than unit density are deduced. These values may be employed in the calculation of the scatter dose delivered to points which lie in an inhomogeneous body. The practical importance of the results obtained is discussed with particular reference to the use of Transit Dose techniques.
