Time and frequency to observe fiducial markers in MLC-modulated fields during prostate IMRT/VMAT beam delivery

In the practice of radiotherapy, the accuracy of target localization is very important for improving the local control rate of tumors and sparing nearby critical structures. With the development of radiotherapy and the widespread application of computer technology, advanced conformal radiotherapy has gradually replaced conventional radiotherapy with more precise and sophisticated delivery techniques, such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated radiation therapy (VMAT).
