Dose Verification in Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy: A Fractal Dimension Characteristics Study

Purpose. This study describes how to identify the coincidence of desired planning isodose curves with film experimental results by using a mathematical fractal dimension characteristic method to avoid the errors caused by visual inspection in the intensity modulation radiation therapy (IMRT). Method...
