“…To assess the 3-dimensional dose distribution in tissues of interest, an 18 MV beam was commissioned in RayStation (RaySearch Laboratories; Stockholm, Sweden) for the standing TBI setup at an extended SSD. This model was validated for accuracy with clinical tissue-phantom ratio measurements, off-axis ratio measurements, and treatment monitor units following our current clinical treatment protocol, which was based on 2D hand calculation [7] . For this arrangement, the patient was treated as if standing on a platform at an extended SSD of 475 cm from source to patient midline and treated with AP and PA beams.…”
