On the need for monitor unit calculations as part of a beam commissioning methodology for a radiation treatment planning system
This paper illustrates the need for validating the calculation of monitor units as part of the process of commissioning a photon beam model in a radiation treatment planning system. Examples are provided in which this validation identified subtle errors, either in the dose model or in the implementa...
