  • 1. Radiation Oncology Centre, INHS Asvini, Mumbai (India)

Description

The aim of radiation therapy is to reliably maximize the dose to the target while minimizing the toxicity to the normal tissues. Therefore, daily treatment setup is considered as a critical requirement in radiotherapy for an accurate dose delivery. Setup uncertainties can creep in day to day radiation treatment and are divided into two categories: systematic errors and random errors
