algorithm
3. Predict primary fluence from transit images
Measure transit EPID dose
Convert to dose at EPID level
Deconvolve EPID dose with lateral scatter kernel and
back-project through patient/phantom to estimate primary
fluence
Use primary fluence as input to calculate dose distribution
in patient/phantom
