Impact of Geometric Uncertainties on Dose Calculations for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer

Impact of Geometric Uncertainties on Dose Calculations for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer

Show other versions (3)

IMRT uses non-uniform beam intensities within a radiation field to provide patient-specific dose shaping, resulting in a dose distribution that conforms tightly to the planning target volume (PTV). Unavoidable geometric uncertainty arising from patient repositioning and internal organ motion can lea...
