This educational program will cover the changing landscape of patient-specific QA, including experience of implementing new solutions into the clinic, as well as developing new technologies. Specific topics include: 1) Moving from measurement-based pre-treatment QA with Gamma Analysis in phantom to DVH based metrics 2) Moving from measurement-based pre-treatment QA to trajectory file-based QA 3) Moving from a simple 'Type A' independent dose calculation to a 'Type B' (convolution/superposition) or 'Type C' (Monte Carlo) based independent dose calculation algorithm 4) Patient-specific QA for new technologies and online adaptive radiotherapy 5) Scintillator based patient-specific QA in the age of magnetic guided radiation therapy (MgRT).
