Abstract

The setup errors in patient positioning during radiotherapyhave a critical role in the tumor control and overdose of normal tissues. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patient setup errors and propose optimum planning target volume (PTV) for various treatment sites using electronic portal imaging device (EPID).
