Figure 5.
The calculated penumbrae using the treatment planning system in a water phantom with a dimension of 30 × 30 × 30 cm are shown. The field sizes are 4 × 4 cm and the source-to-surface distance is 100 cm. Penumbrae of 6- and 10-MV flattening filter-free (FFF) photon beams by a linear accelerator and Co-60 gamma ray by the ViewRay™ system (ViewRay inc., Cleveland, OH) are shown with solid lines, dashed lines and dotted lines, respectively. Penumbrae at depths of 3 (a), 5 (b), 10 (c) and 15 cm (d) are shown.
