Finally, the positions of the centermost peak and valley doses in the composite dose distribution for the microbeam array were located and the so called PVDR (Peak-to-Valley Dose Ratio) was evaluated.

In that way, the resulting dose distribution in the cross-fired volume, when using the interlaced technique, was obtained by adding the dose profile at 1 cm depth for a single microbeam 40 times, with an incremental shift of 50 microns for each added microbeam.

Each microbeam array contained 10 microbeams and therefore 40 microbeams were interlacing in the irradiation target.

In this work, the dose distribution produced by a single, rectangular ( "planar") x-ray microbeam was simulated inside the head phantoms which had a cylindrical shape.
