The method developed here can be easily implemented into clinic, as neither additional modeling of the clinical energy nor an independent image prediction algorithm are necessary. The main advantage of this method is that portal dose prediction is calculated with the same algorithm and beam model used for patient dose distribution calculation. This method was independently validated with an ionization chamber matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
