Description
During the last years radiotherapy has been practiced with flat beam profile. Recently, evolution of technology introduced a Flattening Filter Free photon beams which have stimulated medical physicist to carry out the research in radiotherapy. The removal of flattening filter alters the physics around flattening beam and the significant increase in dose rate causes softening of beam spectrum and reduction in scatter as well as decrease in neutron and photon leakage in the head
