Fermi–Eyges multiple scattering theory for electrons is explained, and a general three‐dimensional formalism is developed for its application to problems of therapeutic electron dosimetry. The formalism is illustrated by a number of elementary examples: a rectangular beam, an isotropic point source, and a scanning line source.
