[Exact reproduction of daily treatment fields using wedge filters (author's transl)]. 1978

H D Kogelnik, and F Schneider, and E Prokosch

With the use of more sophisticated techniques in megavoltage irradiation, the exact reproduction of the daily treatment fields is of utmost importance. In this short communication a relatively simple method is described which can be applied when wedge filters are used.
