A national dosimetry audit for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy in lung.

CONCLUSIONS: Alanine and film is an effective combination for verifying dosimetric and geometric accuracy. There were some differences across dose algorithms, and geometric accuracy was better for VMAT and CK compared with conformal techniques. The alanine dosimetry results showed that planned and delivered doses were within ±3.0% for 25/27 SABR plans. PMID: 28117079 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
