Abstract:PurposeThis study aimed to improve the safety and accuracy of radiotherapy by establishing tolerance (TL) and action (AL) limits for the gamma index in patient‐specific quality assurance (PSQA) for intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) using SunCHECK software, as per AAPM TG‐218 report recommendations.MethodsThe study included 125 patients divided into six groups by treatment regions (H&N, thoracic and pelvic) and techniques (VMAT, IMRT). SunCHECK was used… Show more
