Evaluation of the dosimetric characteristics of 6 MV flattened and unflattened photon beam

Evaluation of the dosimetric characteristics of 6 MV flattened and unflattened photon beam

This work aims to compare and evaluate the dosimetric properties of 6 MV flattening (FF) and flattening filter free (FFF) photon beams which generated from a Varian 2100 medical accelerator. These properties include percentage depth dose, dose rate, beam profile, out-of-field, energy spectra, scatte...
