Abstract:BackgroundTreatment delivery safety and accuracy are essential to control the disease and protect healthy tissues in radiation therapy. For usual treatment, a phantom‐based patient specific quality assurance (PSQA) is performed to verify the delivery prior to the treatment. The emergence of adaptive radiation therapy (ART) adds new complexities to PSQA. In fact, organ at risks and target volume re‐contouring as well as plan re‐optimization and treatment delivery are performed with the patient immobilized on th… Show more
