Investigation of planar image quality for a novel 2.5 MV diamond target beam from a radiotherapy linear accelerator

Background and purpose: A commercial 2.5 MV beam has been clinically available for beam’s-eye-view imaging in radiotherapy, offering improved contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) compared to therapeutic beams, due to the softer spectrum. Previous research suggested that imaging performance could be improve...
