Megavoltage electron beams in the 6- to 20-MeV energy range have varying degrees of dose reduction at the skin surface.The actual absorbed dose at the surface of a water equivalent medium usually is about 85% of the maximum in the absence of contamination of the beam.Surface dose values for electron beams in the 6- to 20-MeV range vary from 80% to 100%.
