COMPUTER CALCULATION OF DOSE DISTRIBUTIONS IN CONFORMATION RADIOTHERAPY : III. IMPROVEMENT OF CONFORMATION TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM

Assessment of Dose Calculation Accuracy of TiGRT Treatment Planning System for Physical Wedged fields in Radiotherapy

Introduction Wedge modifiers are commonly applied in external beam radiotherapy to change the dose distribution corresponding to the body contour and to obtain a uniform dose distribution within the target volume. Since the radiation dose delivered to the target must be within ±5% of the prescribed dose, accurate dose calculation by a treatment planning system (TPS) is important. The objective ...

Evaluation of Dose Calculation Accuracy of Isogray Treatment Planning System in Craniospinal Radiotherapy

Introduction: Craniospinal radiotherapy is a therapeutic technique for central nervous system (CNS) tumors, which requires meticulous attention to technique and dosimetry.Treatment planning system (TPS) is one of the main equipment in radiotherapy; therefore, the evaluation of its accuracy is essential for dose calculation. The present study evaluates the validity of Isogray TPS in craniospinal...

Dose Calculation Accuracy of Radiotherapy Treatment Planning Systems in Out-of-Field Regions

Estimation of tumor dose in conformation radiotherapy.

Dosage estimation for conformation radiotherapy applied to cervical cancer was discussed. Field size and shape in conformation therapy was freely change able according to the shape and size of tumor. When the same size and shape of the field for therapy by Co 60 gamma ray was applied to each case, tissue-air ratio TAR was given by an equation, T=-0.00326d+1.035, where T is TAR and d an average ...
