The effect of prostate motion during hypofractionated radiotherapy can be reduced by using flattening filter free beams
Background and purpose: Hypofractionated radiotherapy of prostate cancer reduces the overall treatment time but increases the per-fraction beam-on time due to the higher fraction doses. This increased fraction treatment time results in a larger uncertainty of the prostate position. The purpose of th...
