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

Radiation therapy has gone through a series of revolutions in the last few decades and it is
now possible to produce highly conformal radiation dose distribution by using techniques …

PURPOSE: Volumetric intensity-modulated arc therapy (RA) allows for rapid delivery of
highly conformal dose distributions. In this study, planning and dosimetry of RA were …

Purpose: To evaluate the utility of a new complexity metric, the modulation complexity score
(MCS), in the treatment planning and quality assurance processes and to evaluate the …

Purpose: Helical tomotherapy (HT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are arc‐
based approaches to IMRT delivery. The objective of this study is to compare VMAT to both …

While proton radiation therapy offers substantially better dose distribution characteristics
than photon radiation therapy in certain clinical applications, data demonstrating a …

The potential for detrimental incidents and the ever increasing complexity of patient
treatments emphasize the need for accurate dosimetric verification in radiotherapy. For this …

Intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), an advent of three‐dimensional conformal
radiotherapy (3D CRT), has excited the profession of radiation oncology more than any …

In this study we investigated the characteristics of a commercial ion chamber array and its
performance in the verification of radiotherapy plans. The device was the 2D Array …

Purpose: Excessive complexity in intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans
increases the dose uncertainty, prolongs the treatment time, and increases the susceptibility …
