Acuros XB for Dose Calculations in External Beam Photon Radiotherapy-Mini Review

The accuracy of the Acuros XB algorithm in external beam radiotherapy – a comprehensive review

The accuracy of dose calculation algorithms has been a topic of interest among the radiotherapy community throughout last decades. On one hand the advancements in computers and algorithms has improved the accuracy, but on the other hand the developments in other parts of treatment process, in treatment delivery techniques and in treatment devices have always pushed the requirements to the next ...

AbstractID: 1109 Title: Integral Dose in External Beam Photon Radiotherapy

ID: 1109 Title: Integral Dose in External Beam Photon Radiotherapy Integral dose is the volume integral of the dose deposited in the patient and is equal to the mean dose times the volume. The integral dose is also the area under the curve of a differential dose absolute-volume histogram. It is widely believed that IMRT increases the integral dose to normal tissues as compared to conventional r...
