Figure 1. Diagrammatic representation of positional-dependent effective focal spot size (Eff FSS). DB (when
positive, or D'B when
negative), positional-dependent Eff FSS; AB, Eff FSS given by the manufacturer (measured at the point of the central ray); CB, actual FSS;
, target angle given by the manufacturer;
, angle of the beam of the positional-dependent effective focal spot.
