Real-Time Tracking Of Linac Parameters For Verification Of Dynamic Multileaf Collimator (DMLC) Based Radiotherapy Treatment

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) delivers highly conformal dose to tumour using dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC). The complexity of IMRT delivery requires patient specific pre-treatment verification. This study investigates application of real-time tracking data for IMRT verification f...
