Treatment planning for Enhanced Dynamic Wedge requires a knowledge of the dosimetric parameters of the treatment fields. These dosimetric parameters include depth doses, surface doses, buildup doses, peripheral doses, beam profiles, wedge angles and wedge factors. These parameters and their application to treatment planning are evaluated and compared with standard open field and metal wedge field dosimetric parameters.
