Scatter contribution to dose

At a phantom depth of 10 cm, on the central axis, scatter contribution to the dose is more for an accelerator photon beam compared to a Co-60 beam.

NO, Scatter towards the central axis decreases as the beam quality (energy) increases; hence the decrease in the field size dependence seen for higher energy photon beams.

SO SCATTER CONTRIBUTION TO DOSE IS LESS FOR LINACS THAN A CO-60 Machine.
