ICRU Report 83: Prescribing, Recording, and Reporting Photon-Beam Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
DeLuca P, Jones D, Gahbauer R, et al. · International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU)
DoseLab summary
ICRU report on prescribing, recording and reporting intensity-modulated photon therapy. DoseLab has not read the report itself (it is sold by the ICRU). Its homogeneity index, (D2% − D98%) / D50%, is checked as quoted in the open-access Yan 2019 paper.
Why this is useful
The reference for how IMRT dose is prescribed and reported — near-minimum (D98%), median (D50%) and near-maximum (D2%) target doses, and the homogeneity index built from them.
