• 2018:01 Monte Carlo patient-specific pre-treatment QA system for volumetric modulated arc therapy

  Background According to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's Regulations in Radiotherapy (SSMFS 2008:33) are Swedish clinics required to verify the individual dose to patients, prior the first time a new treatment is given. To fulfil this requirement, current clinics perform in-vivo dosimetry
