Use of abutting beams
Electron - electron beam matching
difficult to match without hot- or cold-spots due to
influence on isodose lines of patient curvature
Electron – photon beam matching
beams abutted on the surface
gives a hot spot on the photon
side and a cold spot on the
electron side
caused by out-scattering of
electrons from the electron
fields
