what is true concerning the benefits of a dynamic wedge over a physical wedge? - ANSWER- less scatter on the patient w/a dynamic wedge - less chance of error w/respect to the wedge direction - physical wedges are less efficient due to their static size
-a wedge factor must be applied to the MU setting for both
What is true concerning penumbra? - ANSWER- the edge of the light field represents the 50% isodose line - a field size of 4x4 cm is more difficult to measure than a 20x20 - a cobalt machine has wider penumbra compared to a linac beam
What is true concerning flattening filters? - ANSWER- TomoTherapy doesn't utilize a flattening filter - a 10 FFF beam has a lower energy than a 10x beam w/a flattening filter - flattening filter free beams are very useful for high dose per fx
