N1 - A software program [MU-EPID], has been developed to perform patient specific pre-treatment quality assurance (QA) verification for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using fluence maps measured with an electronic portal imaging device (EPID). The software converts the EPID acquired images of each IMRT beam, to fluence maps that are equivalent to those calculated by the treatment planning system (TPS).
