Abstract
A radiation exposure system having a beam source is provided. The system further includes a variable thickness degrader, positioned between the beam source and an object to be exposed, for providing varying degrees of degradation to a radiation beam emitted from the beam source onto the object. The system also includes a set of detectors, positioned between the variable thickness degrader and the object, for receiving and measuring only a portion of the radiation beam remaining after the degradation of the radiation beam by the variable thickness degrader.
