BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance image only (MRI-only) simulation for head and neck (H&N) radiotherapy (RT) could allow for single-image modality planning with excellent soft tissue contrast. In the MRI-only simulation workflow, synthetic computed tomo...
BACKGROUND: Dose distributions calculated with electronic portal imaging device (EPID)-based in vivo dosimetry (EIVD) differ from planned dose distributions due to generic and plan-specific deviations. Generic deviations are characteristic to a class...
