Point Dosimetry in Patient-specific Quality Assurance of a Robotic Radiosurgery System Using a Scintillation Detector [PDF]
Purpose: Patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for CyberKnife is typically performed using micro ionization chambers and film dosimetry. However, micro ionization chambers tend to underestimate dose measurements in small radiation fields.
