INTRODUCTION: Modern radiotherapy practice relies on multiple approaches for verification of patient positioning. All of these techniques require experienced radiotherapists who understand the anatomical landmarks and the limitations of the used veri...
PURPOSE: Patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a ubiquitous clinical procedure, but conventional methods have often been criticized as being insensitive to errors or less effective than other comm...
