  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Scan Mode
    Type: 1
    Attribute Description:

    The method of beam scanning to be used during treatment.

    Defined Terms:

    NONE

    No beam scanning is performed.

    UNIFORM

    Between control points, the beam is scanned to create a uniform lateral fluence distribution across the field.

    MODULATED

    Between control points, the beam is scanned to create a modulated lateral fluence distribution across the field.

    MODULATED_SPEC

    Between control points, the beam is scanned to create a modulated lateral fluence distribution across the field. The specific scan mode is defined by Modulated Scan Mode Type (300A,0309).
