| Abstract | The authors present a direct comparison of dosimetric properties of Siemens virtual wedge (VW) and physical wedge (PW). While there is a great difference in absolute values of wedge factors, VW factors (VWFs) and PW factors (PWFs) have a similar trend as a function of field size. PWFs have stronger depth dependence than VWF because of beam hardening in PW fields. Dose profiles in the wedge direction are match very well between VW and PW except in the toe area of the 45/spl deg/ wedge with large field sizes, where PW fields have a higher peak. The authors have demonstrated that it is dosimetrically acceptable to have an initial gap up to 3 cm for VW fields when compared with PW dose profiles. While maintaining the desired wedged dose distribution, VW has an advantage of creating smaller hot spot, when compared with PW, in the toe region of 45/spl deg/ wedge fields with large field sizes. Dose profiles in the non-wedge direction shows a significant reduction in PW fields due to off-axis beam softening and oblique filtration. PW fields also have significantly higher peripheral doses than open and VW fields. VW fields have similar surface doses as the open fields while PW fields have slightly lower surface doses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
