Minimise energy/field size dependence
An
approximation to account
for the influence of spectral changes between the 10cm
×
10cm and a smaller field (e.g. 4cm
×
4cm) on detector response would be to
cross-calibrate
the small detector against a medium size detector in an intermediate field
(smaller than the
reference field of 10cm × 10cm);
This is referred to as ‘
daisy-chaining’
