title: The Royal Marsden Hospital pelvic radiotherapy trial: technical aspects and quality assurance.
abstract: Planning and quality control procedures are described for a randomised trial designed to measure the effect on normal tissue toxicity of reducing the volume of normal tissue irradiated through the introduction of Beams-Eye-View designed customised blocks. Consideration is given to the accuracy with which blocks can be designed and to the potential application of multi-leaf collimator technology.
