I'm very curous about the amount of scatter from both machines to to nearby healthy tissue. From what I gather some reoccurance of cancer is caused by the radiaton of healthy cells that in the vicinity of the cancer. They cells are changed (can't think of proper term) by the radiaton, but not actually kills. Hope this makes sense.
