Design of experiments in medical physics: Application to the AAA beam model validation

Highlights • Experimental designs offer a fast and robust method for algorithm validation. • Only 72 tests are necessary to validate a beam model. • Statistical analysis reveals non-clinically significant differences. • Experimental designs could be largely used in medical physics.
