Peripheral dose from megavoltage cone‐beam CT imaging for nasopharyngeal carcinoma image‐guided radiation therapy
The growing use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for IGRT has increased concerns over the additional radiation dose to patients. The in-field dose of IGRT and the peripheral dose (PD) from kilovoltage CBCT (KV-CBCT) imaging have been well quantified.
