Dose calculations accuracy of TiGRT treatment planning system for small IMRT beamlets in heterogeneous lung phantom
Background: Accurate dose calculations in small beamlets and lung material have been a great challenge for most of treatment planning systems (TPS). In the current study, the dose calculation accuracy of TiGRT TPS was evaluated for small beamlets in water and lung phantom by comparison to Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. Materials and Methods: The head of Siemens Oncor-impression linac...

متن کاملEfficient schemes for robust IMRT treatment planning.
We use robust optimization techniques to formulate an IMRT treatment planning problem in which the dose matrices are uncertain, due to both dose calculation errors and interfraction positional uncertainty of tumour and organs. When the uncertainty is taken into account, the original linear programming formulation becomes a second-order cone program. We describe a novel and efficient approach fo...
متن کاملEvaluating Performance of Algorithms in Lung IMRT: A Comparison of Monte Carlo, Pencil Beam, Superposition, Fast Superposition and Convolution Algorithms
Background: Inclusion of inhomogeneity corrections in intensity modulated small fields always makes conformal irradiation of lung tumor very complicated in accurate dose delivery.Objective: In the present study, the performance of five algorithms via Monte Carlo, Pencil Beam, Convolution, Fast Superposition and Superposition were evaluated in lung cancer Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy plannin...
متن کاملDose calculation accuracy of lung planning with a commercial IMRT treatment planning system
The dose calculation accuracy of a commercial pencil beam IMRT planning system is evaluated by comparison with Monte Carlo calculations and measurements in an anthropomorphic phantom. The target volume is in the right lung and mediastinum and thus significant tissue inhomogeneities are present. The Monte Carlo code is an adaptation of the MCNP code and the measurements were made with TLD and fi...
