Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to the RadOnc Smart Review Physics Series! We've gathered all the ingredients: Calibrated Output (CAL), Output Factors (Sc,p), Beam Modifiers (WF, TF), and Patient Attenuation Factors (PDD, TMR). Now, in Episode P12a: MU Calculations (SSD & SAD Formulas), we finally put them together! We'll construct and explain the complete formulas used to calculate Monitor Units (MUs) for both common treatment techniques: fixed Source-to-Surface Distance (SSD) and isocentric Source-to-Axis Distance (SAD).
