To perform comprehensive dosimetric validation of a commercially available independent Monte Carlo (MC)-based secondary dose calculation engine for clinical photon radiotherapy.
To develop and validate a novel isocentricity test using continuous axis motion and imaging during beam delivery to characterize three-dimensional isocenter walkout.
A novel, low-cost 3D surface scanning system was developed using a custom modification of the laser-profiling technique. Proof of concept was demonstrated through 3D simulation in Blender 3D software. A real-world prototype was then implemented using a consum...
To develop and validate a continuous two-dimensional output-factor (OF) model and to identify a measurement strategy that achieves accuracy and efficiency.
Independent verification of IROC phantom credentialing results is valuable for institutional quality assurance and confidence in treatment planning system performance. This work aimed to verify the accuracy of a commercially available Monte Carlo (MC) dose al...
