-===== Walk-through =====+====== Electron Block Walk-through Tutorial ======
  
  This walk-through is intended to be an easy to follow step-by-step guide for completing a "standard clinical electron" set-up. It covers all steps involved in designing and ordering an electron aperture from .decimal. The intent is that after completing this walk-through you will have gained the knowledge and understanding necessary to complete a clinical electron set up utilizing the decimal3D App (it should be noted that the values provided herein are not intended to represent clinical guidelines and should in no way be considered a recommendation for values that are appropriate for clinical use).  This walk-through is intended to be an easy to follow step-by-step guide for completing a "standard clinical electron" set-up.
