Clinical implementation of dynamic intensity-modulated radiotherapy: Dosimetric aspects and initial experience

This paper describes the initial experience of quality assurance (QA) tests performed on the millennium multi-leaf collimator (mMLC) for clinical implementation of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using sliding window technique. The various QA tests verified the mechanical and dosimetric stab...
