Accuracy and reliability of a commercial treatment planning system in nontarget regions in modern prostate radiotherapy Ghent University
BackgroundThe currently available treatment planning systems (TPSs) are neither designed nor intended for accurate dose calculations in nontarget regions. The aim of this work is to quantify the accuracy and reliability of nontarget doses calculated by a commercially available TPS. MethodsNontarget doses calculated by the collapsed cone (CC) (v5.2) algorithm implemented in the RayStation (v6) TPS were compared to measured values. Different ...
