z-axis geometric efficiency

• Defined as:

imaged slice width x 100 %

irradiated slice width

• A larger percentage implies a better dose efficiency in the z-direction

The performance parameter, which is most affected by the use of focal spot tracking and the reduction in irradiated slice width that this allows, is z-axis geometric efficiency.

The definition of z-axis geometric efficiency is given on the slide.
