Patient specific plan verification becomes necessary in the advent of complex treatment delivery options with current linear accelerator technology.
The description of dosimeter, chamber and electronics will be given with results from beam tests and therapy plan verification.
Like IMRT, IGRT is a process involving all steps in the radiotherapy treatment process, including patient immobilization, computed tomogaphy (CT) simulation, treatment planning, plan verification, patient setup verification and correction, delivery, and quality assurance.
Also, it is generally agreed that the formalisms should support several kinds of reasoning, and, in particular, not only prediction and plan verification but retrodiction, i.e., construction of a sequence of states and actions from partial information, presented in narrative form.
The present paper provides a conceptual methodology for planning design verification activities based on the quantification of uncertainties.
This chapter provides an overview of the overall management of the item qualification verification process using the integrated verification plan, integrated verification data report, and integrated verification management report.
