Indirect evaluation of pretreatment imaging protocols and their clinical impact on patient dose delivery in radiotherapy

ConclusionThis study plays a vital role in establishing optimum pretreatment imaging protocols in busy clinics. Three days a week imaging protocol is the best suit protocol found with minimal deviation and ample implementation feasibility. This study proposed an opinion pertaining to the revision of setup margin formula in order to accommodate variation due to imaging techniques and frequency of imaging attempted during radiotherapy.
