Project: Impact of Small Field Data and Detector Size Correction on the Accuracy of IMRT Dose Calculations
My project is to measure small field beam data, apply detector size corrections and commission new beam models in the Eclipse treatment planning system using these data to increase IMRT dose calculation accuracy thus improving target coverage and normal tissue sparring.
