A Validation Method for EPID In Vivo Dosimetry Algorithms [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 The aim of this study was to develop and apply an evaluation method for assessing the accuracy of a novel 3D EPID back-projection algorithm for in vivo dosimetry. The novel algorithm of Dosimetry Check (DC) 5.8 was evaluated. A slab phantom homogeneously filled, or with air and bone inserts, was used for fluence reconstruction of different squared ...
