A 100-cm pseudosimulation technique for 80-cm isocentric treatments.
A simulator should mimic the geometry of the treatment machine. If the geometry of the simulator does not match that of the therapy machine, true simulation of treatment could be a problem. Pseudosimulation is a simple, practical solution to this problem. We have successfully implemented this technique for over a year in our clinic for about 70 patients.
