Verifying monitor unit calculations for tangential breast fields
An essential component of quality assurance in radiation therapy is verifying the accuracy of monitor unit calculations. Differences between sophisticated algorithms using 2.5D or 3D calculations and simpler monitor unit check algorithms or hand calculations assuming a flat water phantom must be exp...
