TU-G-BRD-08: in-vivo EPID dosimetry: quantifying the detectability of four classes of errors.
The researchers analyzed 17 patients; EPID images of the exit dose were acquired and used to reconstruct the planar dose at isocenter. Their data demonstrate the ability of EPID-based in-vivo dosimetry in detecting variations in patient habitus and errors related to machine parameters such as systematic multi-leaf collimator misalignments and machine output changes.
