Abstract:Background
Many dose calculation algorithms for radiotherapy planning need to be configured for each clinical beam using pre-defined measurements. An optimization process adjusts the physical parameters able to estimate the energy released in the medium in any geometrical condition. This work investigates the impact of measured input data quality on the configuration of the type “c” Acuros-XB dose calculation algorithm in the Eclipse (Varian Medical Systems) treatment planning system.
