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...

Assessment of out-of-field dose calculation algorithm by commercial treatment planning systems in IMRT and 3DCRT

Abstract Introduction: The accuracy an assessment of out- of- field dose due to secondary cancer risk is clinically important. Actually radiotherapy treatment planning systems are not commissioned for the out-of-field dose calculations, so the estimation of dose distributions by TPSs beyond the borders of treatment fields is not well calculate...

Treatment planning using MRI data: an analysis of the dose calculation accuracy for different treatment regions

BACKGROUND Because of superior soft tissue contrast, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a complement to computed tomography (CT) in the target definition procedure for radiotherapy is increasing. To keep the workflow simple and cost effective and to reduce patient dose, it is natural to strive for a treatment planning procedure based entirely on MRI. In the present study, we investi...
