Verification and correction of geometrical uncertainties in conformal radiotherapy [PDF]
Archive of Oncology, 2005 Geometrical errors are presented as deviation between intended geometry of radiotherapy plan and real geometry of radiotherapy treatment. Total geometrical error is build up of smaller errors, which can be generally classified as set-up, organ motion ...
