Abstract:PurposeTo elucidate the dosimetric errors caused by a model‐based algorithm in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with Helical TomoTherapy (HT) using Monte Carlo (MC)‐based dose verification software.MethodsFor 38 plans of lung SBRT, the dose calculation accuracy of a treatment planning system (TPS) of HT was compared with the results of DoseCHECK, the commercial MC‐based independent verification software. The following indices were extracted to evaluate the correlation of dosimetric errors: (1) t… Show more
