Patient-related QA for helical TomoTherapy with Delta4: analysis of the results

The biplanar diode arrays Delta4PT and Delta4+ has been used in our hospital since the introduction of the TomoTherapy in 2013 to ensure a good agreement between the calculated and the measured dose distributions in patient-related QA with helical TomoTherapy. The aim of this presentation is to eval...
