Purpose: Flattening filter free (FFF) beams in radiotherapy have advantages such as shorter treatment delivery time and lower out-of-field dose compared with conventional flattened beams. This study investigates in detail the skin dose induced by FFF beams from a TrueBeam accelerator (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) using Monte Carlo method.
Methods: Phase space files generated using real geometry of a TrueBeam accelerator above the jaws, were used as the input radiation source files in beam simulation for various field sizes using BEAMnrc.
