Distribution of origin site.

Note clouds at beam stopper,

primary collimator and

flattening filter

Lateral distribution of origin

sites, projected to a

common distance from the

target.

All scatter sources

merged to an effective

source distribution.

Flattening filter scatter

the major extrafocal contribution
