Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of the study was the implementation of a method to use the integral quality monitor (IQM) transmission detector for occasional, alternating usage during patient treatment with intensity modulated radiotherapy. Due to attenuation, the transmission detector must be taken into account during the planning process. The proposed workflow is based on determining a dynamic transmission factor (dTF) required to scale the total number of MU of the original radiotherapy (RT) plan. Thus a very similar … Show more
