Purpose Patient‐specific IMRT QA measurements are important components of processes
designed to identify discrepancies between calculated and delivered radiation doses …

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) poses a number of challenges for properly
measuring commissioning data and quality assurance (QA) radiation dose distributions. This …

The charge of Task Group 186 (TG‐186) is to provide guidance for early adopters of model‐
based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy (BT) dose calculations to …

Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) have been the preferred tools for verification of
patient positioning for radiotherapy in recent decades. Since EPID images contain dose …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to compare the accuracy of
different HU adjustments for CBCT-based dose calculation. METHODS AND MATERIALS …

The suitability of radiochromic EBT film was studied for high-precision clinical quality
assurance (QA) by identifying the dose response for a wide range of irradiation parameters …

Treatment plans are usually designed, optimized, and evaluated based on the total 3D dose
distribution, motivating a total 3D dose verification. The purpose of this study was to develop …

The‐evaluation method is a tool by which dose distributions can be compared in a
quantitative manner combining dose‐difference and distance‐to‐agreement criteria. Since …

Quantitative comparisons of dose distributions are an integral component of a medical
physicist's responsibility of assuring high quality radiation therapy dose delivery. While …

PURPOSE: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (RapidArc [RA]; Varian Medical Systems, Palo
