Abstract

Perhaps the most difficult part of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) quality control is assessing the extent to which normal tissue can be spared. The potential exists to produce treatment plans that meet standard goals but do exploit favorable anatomy to produce additional sparing. In addition, when anatomy is unfavorable much time may be expended in an effort to meet goals that are impossible to accomplish without compromising another clinical goal. Thus it is desirable for a quality control tool to audit the adequacy of normal tissue sparing for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) plans according to individual patient anatomy.
