• To quantify variations in energy fluence
incident on the patient
• Function of the collimator
setting
• Depends on the photon beam quality and
on treatment head design
• Depends on the field orientation for
rectangular beams (CEE)
• Almost independent of the
source-detector distance
• Does not depend on depth
if z > R contam. electrons
