Direct beam source
- open beam fluence distribution
The joint effect of
–
angular variations of the direct beam source radiance
–
flattening filter absorption/modulation
commonly expressed as an open beam fluence matrix
Can be acquired through a variaty of means:
–
”in air” scanning
–
diagonal dose profiles in a water phantom
–
”star” dose measurements and subsequent
deconvolution/fluence fitting
