Study of dosimetric properties of flattened and unflattened megavoltage x ray beam on high Z implant materials.

CONCLUSION: The dosimetric properties of x ray photon beam were studied comprehensively in the presence of high Z material like stainless steel and titanium alloy using both flattened and UF beams to understand and incorporate the findings of various parameters in clinical condition due to the variation in energy spectrum from FF to UF x ray beam.
