The inverse compensating filter. 1979

K E Ekstrand, and C R Ferree, and R L Dixon, and M Raben

When a single-field technique is used in megavoltage x-ray therapy, a uniform entrance dose is often required. If there is a large variation in source-to-surface distance over the field, an inverse type of compensating filter is necessary to achieve entrance dose uniformity. The production and utilization of these filters is discussed.
