A practical method to optimize quality assurance results of arc therapy plans in beam modeling

Dosimetric accuracy of a volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan is directly related to the beam model, particularly with multileaf collimator characterization. Inappropriate dosimetric leaf gap (DLG) value can lead to a suboptimal beam model, with significant failure in patient-specific qualit...
