Introduction Modern Radiotherapy techniques demand high spatial accuracy and precision
in order to guarantee the necessary quality and safety of high-dose, often hypo-fractionated …

Radiation therapy for cancer now includes several, significantly different techniques. To
ensure treatment quality, both in terms of safety and efficacy, each technique requires the …

The complexity of radiation therapy is continually increasing as new treatment modalities are
implemented in the clinic. While these advances often benefit tumor dose localization, they …

Dosimetry audit is a key component in quality management programmes in radiotherapy,
playing an important role in the safe implementation of new treatment modalities and …

Real-time radiation dose monitoring during treatment delivery is highly desired for quality
assurance purposes but has been hampered in its clinical implementation due to various …

Purpose: Test and comparison of various 2-D real-time detectors for dosimetric quality
assurance (QA) of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with the vision to replace …

Hadron therapy is an advanced radiation modality for treating cancer, which currently uses
protons and carbon ions. Hadrons allow for a highly conformal dose distribution to the …

This study evaluates the changes occurring in the X-ray energy of a linear accelerator
(LINAC) using a Daily QA3 detector system. This is accomplished by comparing the Daily …

The use of proton and carbon ion beams in cancer therapy (also known as hadron therapy)
is progressively growing worldwide due to their improved dose distributions, sparing of …
