Learning Objectives

I.

Dose per Monitor Unit (MU) formalism for first-principles (or model-based)

photon dose calculations (how is the calculated dose related to MU?)

II. Dose per Monitor Unit (MU) formalism for factor-based dose calculations

I.

understand the main factors involved

II.

learn how these factors are determined

III.

appreciate how such factors relate to each other

IV.

the AAPM TG-71 / NCS12 / ESTRO factor-based dose per MU formalisms

III. Reflect on the purpose and usefulness of factor-based models in modern

radiotherapy physics
