Abstract
Abstract
This topical review focuses on Patient-Specific Quality Assurance (PSQA) approaches to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). SBRT requires stricter accuracy than standard radiation therapy due to the high dose per fraction and the limited number of fractions. The review considered various PSQA methods reported in 36 articles between 01/2010 and 07/2022 for SBRT treatment. In particular comparison among devices and devices designed for SBRT, sensitivity and resolution, verification methodology, gamma analysis were specifically considered. The review identified a list of essential data needed to reproduce the results in other clinics, highlighted the partial miss of data reported in scientific papers, and formulated recommendations for successful implementation of a PSQA protocol.
