Physics of Cerenkov photon production (left) and emission spectrum (right). Cerenkov photons can be produced by a variety of medical sources including: linear accelerators (linacs) emitting megavoltage electrons or photons, and beta-emitting radionuclides used in radiopharmaceuticals. The emission spectrum is continuous from the ultraviolet to infrared with intensity proportional to λ−2
