Journal Article · · Brit. J. Radiol.

Full-size filters made of aluminum, steel, and lead, each a simple wedge with an angle of 45 degrees, were designed to turn the central parts of the isodose curves from the x-ray beam of an 8-Mev linear accelerator. Details of construction are described, and the typical isodose distribution obtained is presented graphically. (C.H.)
