Cross Beam Pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

6 MV <strong>Photon</strong> Beam, Depth <strong>of</strong> 5.0 cm, Field size <strong>of</strong> 4x4, 10.4x10.4, and 21x21 cm 2 .<br />

The flatness <strong>of</strong> photon beams is extremely sensitive to change in energy <strong>of</strong> the<br />

incident beam. A small change in the penetrative quality <strong>of</strong> a photon beam results in<br />

very large change in beam flatness.
