Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Proton-Dose Calculation with Scripting and Modified Hounsfield Units

Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Proton-Dose Calculation with Scripting and Modified Hounsfield Units

Purpose: To describe an implementation of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for calculation of proton stopping-power ratios (SPRs) in a commercial treatment-planning system. The process for validation and the workflow for safe deployment of DECT is described, using single-energy computed tomogr...
