Description
To demonstrate proof of principle of visualizing delivered 3-dimensional (3D) dose distribution using kilovoltage (kv) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) mounted onboard a linear accelerator. We apply this technique as a unique end-to-end verification of multifocal radiosurgery where the coincidence of radiation and imaging systems is quantified comprehensively at all targets.
