The motivation for this study was to reduce physics workload relating to patient‐specific
quality assurance (QA). VMAT plan delivery accuracy was determined from analysis of pre …

Purpose: Radiation treatments are trending toward delivering higher doses per fraction
under stereotactic radiosurgery and hypofractionated treatment regimens. There is a need …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was 2‐fold. One purpose was to develop an automated,
streamlined quality assurance (QA) program for use by multiple centers. The second …

Purpose: Radiation treatments have become increasingly more complex with the
development of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and the use of stereotactic body …

Purpose A new type of linear accelerator (linac) was recently introduced into the market by a
major manufacturer. Our institution is one of the early users of this preassembled and …

This study reports the development and validation of a model-based, 3D patient dose
reconstruction method for pre-treatment quality assurance using EPID images. The method …

Purpose: The in vivo 3D dose delivered to a patient during volumetric modulated arc therapy
(VMAT) delivery can be calculated using electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images …

Purpose To develop a robust and efficient process that detects relevant dose errors (dose
errors of≥ 5%) in external beam radiation therapy and directly indicates the origin of the …

Purpose To develop an efficient and economic daily quality research tool (DQRT) for daily
check of multiplatform linear accelerators (LINACs) with flattening filter (FF) and flattening …

Multileaf collimator (MLC) positions should be precisely and independently measured as a
function of gantry angle as part of a comprehensive quality assurance (QA) program for …
