Medical physics Question:
What is blocked Field Size?
Answer:
The equivalent rectangular field dimensions of the open treated area. The blocked field size is the actual area treated. Therefore the blocked field size is normally smaller than the collimator field size. Blocked field size dimensions are used when determining TMRs and PDDs. Collimator field size dimensions are used to determine Output Factors.
