The study reported in the present paper aimed to evaluate the effective energy (Eeff) of X-rays emitted from the surface of a bare X-ray probe and from different spherical applicators with various diameters, which are widely employed for low kV intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) of breast cancer. A previously validated Monte Carlo model of the INTRABEAM system along with applicator diameters of 1.5-5 cm (with 0.5 cm increments) was employed for this purpose. The results show that the presence of the applicator can considerably
