The 6 MeV-SFF electron beam is feasible to provide similar TSET skin dose coverage at SSD ≥ 400 cm using a dual-field technique. The dose rate of the 6 MeV-SFF beam is about 4 times that of current available 6 MeV-HDTSe beams at treatment distances of 400-500 cm, which significantly shortens the treatment beam-on time and makes TSET available to patients in weakened conditions.
