Verification of patient position during intensity modulated radiotherapy by electronic portal imaging devices using Monte Carlo techniques

(2018) Verification of patient position during intensity modulated radiotherapy by electronic portal imaging devices using Monte Carlo techniques. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This study generated Monte Carlo (MC) Intensity modulated radiotherapy images to be used as reference images (after calibration) in the verification process of patient set-up errors during radiotherapy treatment. A proposed imaging procedure was developed to estimate the set-up errors during treatment. These developments will improve the accuracy of radiotherapy treatment that is a crucial component of many advanced cancer treatments.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
