Figure 4

Influence of different energies on the number of monitor units applied. Mean of the number of monitor units of all fields against the dose rate of all fields with 6 MVX and all fields with 20 MVX of both patients with PC for different leaf velocities. The continuous lines are values from the field with 6 MVX and the dashed lines from the field with 20 MVX. Calculation was done for different leaf velocities: dark green triangle- 1.0 cm/sec, turquoise rhombus – 1.5 cm/sec, blue square – 2.0 cm/sec, purple triangle – 2.5 cm/sec, red square – 3.0 cm/sec, orange rhombus – 3.5 cm/sec, yellow circle – 4.0 cm/sec, light green triangle – 10.0 cm/sec.
