Primary beam definition

Primary beam means radiation which passes through an aperture of the source housing by a direct path from the x-ray tube or a radioactive source located in the radiation source housing.
Primary beam means the ionizing radiation coming directly from the radiation source through a beam port into the volume defined by the collimation system.
Primary beam means the radiation which passes through an aperture of the source housing in a direct path from the x-ray tube located in the radiation source housing.
