DoseView™ 3D — what the literature says.

Four real anchor citations across the workflow the DoseView 3D is bought for — linac beam-data commissioning and annual QA under the AAPM TG-106 framework. Covers the head-to-head 4-tank scanning-system comparison where DoseView came out on top on inter-variability (Akino 2014), the peer-reviewed 4-tank mechanical + dosimetric cross-comparison (Saenz 2016), the AAPM TG-106 framework paper the scanning phantom is engineered against (Das 2008), and a practical FFF-linac commissioning study exemplifying the workflow (Narayanasamy 2016). Every DOI + journal reference verified; all open-access URLs.
