An assessment of the effect of inter-field dose contamination when measuring Sc, p in the field geometry in figure 1(a). The ‘combined geometry’ is shown in figure 1(a). The ‘separate geometry’ refers to the irradiation of one piece of film per field
Field size (mm) | EBT (combined geometry) | EBT (separate geometry) | Percent error |
