Purpose: To verify that optimized dose distributions provided by an intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) system are delivered accurately to human patients.
Methods And Materials: Anthropomorphic phantoms are used to measure IMRT doses. Four types of verification are developed for: I) system commissioning with beams optimized to irradiate simulated targets in phantoms, II) plans with patient-optimized beams directed to phantoms simulating the patient, III) patient-phantom hybrid plans with patient-optimized beams calculated in phantom without further optimization, and IV) in vivo measurements.
