Patient-specific quality assurance strategies for synthetic computed tomography in magnetic resonance-only radiotherapy of the abdomen
Background and purpose: The superior tissue contrast of magnetic resonance (MR) compared to computed tomography (CT) led to an increasing interest towards MR-only radiotherapy.For the latter, the dose calculation should be performed on a synthetic CT (sCT).Patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) methods have not been established yet and this stud
