Dose Course 2018_Flipping book

Learning Objectives

I. Dose per Monitor Unit (MU) formalism for first-principles (or model-based) photon dose calculations (how is the calculated dose related to MU?)

II. Dose per Monitor Unit (MU) formalism for factor-based dose calculations

understand the main factors involved learn how these factors are determined

I.

II.

III. appreciate how such factors relate to each other

IV. the AAPM TG-71 / NCS12 / ESTRO factor-based dose per MU formalisms

III. Reflect on the purpose and usefulness of factor-based models in modern radiotherapy physics
