Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to the RadOnc Smart Review Physics Series! After diving deep into dosimetry detectors and concepts in P7a and P7b, we now turn our focus in Episode P8a to the Beam Quality & Characteristics. How do we objectively describe the penetrating power of our radiation beams? What factors influence this quality? We'll explore concepts like Half-Value Layer (HVL), beam hardening, and how quality is specified for both kilovoltage and megavoltage beams.
