متن کاملAbsorbed Dose Calculation In Irregular Blocked Radiation Fields: Evaluation of Clarkson’s Sector Integration Method for Radiation Fields Commonly Used in Conventional Radiotherapy
Introduction: Irregular/blocked fields are routinely used in radiotherapy. The doses of these fields are usually calculated by means of equivalent square method that is inherently prone to uncertainty. On the other hand, Clarkson’s sector integration method is a dose calculation method which offers far better accuracy in dose calculation of irregular fields. The Scatter Air Ratio (SAR) of an in...
متن کاملThe effects of volumetric changes on radiation doses of the rectum and bladder during radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer
Background: In prostate radiotherapy, changes in the volume of the bladder and rectum can influence dose delivery. In this study, cone-beam computerised tomography (CBCT) imaging was used to assess volumetric, and corresponding radiation dosimetric changes, for the bladder and rectum in patients with prostate cancer treated using VMAT. Materials and Methods: Treatment planning computed tomograp...
