Feasibility of using nonflat photon beams for whole‐breast irradiation with breath hold

Removing a flattening filter or replacing it with a thinner filter alters the characteristics of a photon beam, creating a forward peaked intensity profile to make the photon beam nonflat. This study is to investigate the feasibility of applying nonflat photon beams to the whole‐breast irradiation w...
