Dosimetric effect of the gantry rotations of a novel trunk phantom using an area integration algorithm

Dosimetric effect of the gantry rotations of a novel trunk phantom using an area integration algorithm

Background: Treatment planning systems (TPSs) have proved to be a useful tool in predetermining how a treatment outcome will be in radiotherapy. The accuracy of any TPS to calculate dose to any arbitrary point within a material is largely dependent on the mathematical algorithm used. Aims: The purpo...
