Abstract:Purpose: Commissioning Monte Carlo beam data for clinical use within a treatment planning system (TPS) for Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) should require validation both in homogeneous and in heterogeneous phantom materials. Compounding this task is the difficulty in accurately measuring small field sizes. This work outlines the use of a new lung phantom in conjunction with a new scintillation detector designed for small field measurement to verify the dose calculated in the TPS. Methods: The measur… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
