The requirement of an independent verification of the monitor units (MU) or time calculated
to deliver the prescribed dose to a patient has been a mainstay of radiation oncology quality …

Independent verification of the dose per monitor unit (MU) to deliver the prescribed dose to a
patient has been a mainstay of radiation oncology quality assurance (QA). We discuss the …

In radiation therapy, the monitor units (MU) needed to deliver a treatment plan are calculated
by treatment planning systems (TPS). The essential part of quality assurance is to verify the …

PURPOSE: To review intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) monitor unit verification
in a phantom for 751 clinical cases. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A custom water-filled …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was the clinical evaluation of an independent dose and
monitor unit verification (MUV) software which is based on sophisticated semi-analytical …

Patient-specific dosimetric verification methods for IMRT treatments are variable, time-
consuming and frequently qualitative, preventing evidence-based reduction in the amount of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In this study, we investigated IMRT QA using Statistical
Process Control for the purpose of comparing the processes of patient-specific …

Purpose The anthropomorphic phantom program at the Houston branch of the Imaging and
Radiation Oncology Core (IROC-Houston) is an end-to-end test that can be used to …

Purpose: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) represents an important method for
improving RT. The IMRT relative dosimetry checks are well established; however, open …

At Emory Clinic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was started by using dynamic
multileaf collimators (dMLC) as electronic tissue compensators in August 1998. Our IMRT …
