A novel comprehensive metric balancing imaging dose and setup accuracy in image-guided radiotherapy: concept proposal and clinical validation by Jiang Liu, Xinhui Fu, Xinhui Fu, Zhiyao Luo, Chuou Yin, Qiao Li, Xigang Fan, Tian Li, Chen Lin, Shouping Xu, Yibao Zhang, Yibao Zhang

“…Using w1=w2 = 0.5 as an example, the smallest mean, standard deviation, and IQR of DAPw were observed on the 100 kV CBCT, indicating optimal balance between dose and accuracy than the other two methods. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences in DAPw among the different imaging methods (P<0.01, F=50.57).ConclusionUsing registration consistency as a surrogate indicator of image quality, this study proposed and validated a novel “DAPw” parameter based on real patient data, providing a purpose-specific tool for balancing setup accuracy and radiation dose in clinic.…”
