A comprehensive and efficient quality assurance program for an image-guided small animal irradiation system

In the field of preclinical radiotherapy, many new developments were driven by technical innovations. To make research of different groups comparable in that context and reliable, high quality has to be maintained. Therefore, standardized protocols and programs should be used. Here we present a guid...
