Dosimetric verification of radiotherapy treatment planning systems: Results of IAEA pilot study

The methodology developed by IAEA for dosimetric quality control of treatment planning systems has been tested in different hospitals through a pilot study. The aim was to verify the methodology and observe the range of deviations between planned and delivered doses in 3D conformal radiotherapy in situations close to a clinical setting.The methodology was based on an anthropomorphic phantom representing the human thorax, and simulates the whole...
