Tissue-to-air ratio (TAR) is a term used in radiotherapy treatment planning to help calculate absorbed dose to water in conditions other than those directly measured. ==Definition== The TAR at a point in a water phantom irradiated by a photon beam is taken to be the ratio of the total absorbed dose at that point to the absorbed dose at the same point in a minimal-scatter phantom with just-sufficient build-up.〔Johns H. E. and Cunningham J. R. (1983). ''The Physics of Radiology''. Charles C. Thomas Publ.〕〔Hendee W., Ibbott G. and Hendee E. (2005). ''Radiation Therapy Physics''. Wiley-Liss Publ. ISBN 0-471-39493-9.〕 Tissue-air ratio is defined as the ratio of the dose to water at a given depth to the dose in air measured with a buildup cap: () TAR=frac\ () where D(f,z) is the dose at a given depth z and distance focus-detector f; and D(f,0) is the dose in air (z=0). Measurements for each are taken using an ion chamber for identical source to detector distances and field sizes.〔Faiz M. Khan.
