The Empirical Formula (EF) was verified by examining the calculated data with experimentally measured data utilizing the anthropomorphic phantom in twelve different combinations of beam entry and point location, where the value for S<sub>p</sub> per tissue composition was within 3% in 8/12 cases, 5% in 1/12 cases, and 10% in 3/12 cases. Our results showed a good agreement with experimental data to less than 1% when the ion chamber was surrounded by the homogeneous tissue, whether lung, soft tissue, or bone.
