Routine radiation therapy machine quality assurance (QA) relies on multiple independent devices and subjective manual measurements, which can limit efficiency and sensitivity to small mechanical deviations. The purpose of this work was to quantitatively evalu...

Estimating Cervical cancer α/β values from patient local control data and three methods of radiobiological parameter estimation.

To demonstrate a novel software package that will generate two- dimensional radiation field images and dose profiles of known characteristics for calibration of radiation therapy QA devices.

To determine, for three common cancers, if in vitro α/β estimates agree with clinical values, and if there are a common pattern of discrepancies.
