The influence of initial electron beam characteristics on the absorbed dose distributions for electron beams obtained with a mobile linear accelerator designed for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy has been investigated. Results show that the transverse dose profiles are sensitive to the divergence of the initial beam, while the energy parameters influence the depth-dose distributions.
