Resumen:
ntroduction Up to now, conventional X-ray radiation facilities and irradiation techniques for external radiotherapy are absolutely based on divergent beams. Therefore, photon flux is necessary decreasing due to the geometrical properties. Nowadays, several X-ray generation techniques are available, each one offering specific advantages/disadvantages. However, all of them exhibit intrinsically divergences, disregarding the implemented collimation system. This intrinsic characteristic constitutes non negligible limitations.
