Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop a tool (PSVD) that will be used improve the quality of care in Radiation Therapy Treatment by verifying patient setup before treatment is initiated. The PSVD will help reduce chances of normal tissue radiation, in so doing increasing the probability of controlling local disease
