Abstract:IntroductionWe present a mathematic method to adjust the leaf end position for dose calculation correction in carbon ion radiation therapy treatment planning system. Methods and MaterialsA struggling range algorism of 400 MeV/n carbon ion beam in nine different multi-leaf collimator (MLC) materials was conducted to calculate the dose 50% point in order to derive the offset corrections in carbon ion treatment planning system (ciPlan). The visualized light field edge position in treatment planning system is deno… Show more
