Which steps are typically completed before the first treatment fraction?

Before the first treatment fraction, a comprehensive pre-treatment verification workflow ensures the planned dose is delivered correctly to the right patient. Plan verification checks dosimetric calculations and treatment parameters for accuracy. Peer review/verification provides an independent look at the plan to catch potential errors. An imaging check compares patient anatomy and setup with the plan to confirm alignment and target localization. Sign-off by the treating clinician authorizes delivery after all checks pass. This combination minimizes risks of wrong patient, wrong dose, or misalignment. Other options miss essential elements: imaging alone doesn’t verify dosimetry, and scheduling or peer review alone doesn’t cover all safety checks.
