The edge of the scale maille sheet is substantially configurable and can be made to conform to the field edge of the treatment zone on the patient.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1  including aligning the at least one configurable edge of the shield device with a non-straight field edge of the treatment zone.
