Chapter 2 discusses the basic physics of external beam therapy, and addresses that distribution of radiation within the patient will be affected by many factors. These include the energy and modality of the beam, the density of the tissue, the use of beam modifiers such as wedges and compensators, and the distance of the patient from the machine. The apparent distribution will also be affected by the accuracy of the algorithm used in the planning system.
