Statistical Process Control in Tomotherapy pre-treatment QA: Fixing tolerance and action limits for the verification metrics

Thesis supervisor Dr. Eleonora Vanzi explores the challenges in IMRT using helical Tomotherapy, highlighting the need for rigorous treatment plan verification due to dosimetric variability. Key methods include single-point absolute measurements and gamma index analysis using the Tomotherapy planning system’s DQA software, ensuring precise dose delivery and patient safety.
