Quantification of geometric uncertainties in image guided radiotherapy [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this thesis is to determine if the geometric uncertainties that are introduced into the image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) process by Cone Beam CT (CBCT) based IGRT equipment are sufficiently small that they do not pose a significant risk of ...
