Quantitative metrics for assessing IMRT plan quality: comparing planning conformity and complexity

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is a complex form of radiation delivery for the treatment of malignant tumours and other diseases. In IMRT treatment planning, quantitative assessment is crucial to measure and improve the plan quality and treatment delivery. The search for simple and uni...
