Evaluation of Dose Calculation Algorithms Accuracy for Eclipse, PCRT3D, and Monaco Treatment Planning Systems Using IAEA TPS commissioning tests in a Heterogeneous Phantom
Introduction: The accuracy of dose calculation algorithm (DCA) is highly considered in the radiotherapy sequences. This study aims at assessing the accuracy of five dose calculation algorithms in tissue inhomogeneity corrections, based on the International Atomic Energy Agency TEC-DOC 1583. Material and Methods: A heterogeneous phantom was sc...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of Acuros XB Advanced Dose Calculation algorithm in heterogeneous media
BACKGROUND A study was realised to evaluate and determine relative figures of merit of a new algorithm for photon dose calculation when applied to inhomogeneous media. METHODS The new Acuros XB algorithm implemented in the Varian Eclipse treatment planning system was compared against a Monte Carlo method (VMC++), and the Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA). The study was carried out in vir...
متن کاملVerification of IMRT dose calculations using AAA and PBC algorithms in dose buildup regions
The purpose of this comparative study was to test the accuracy of anisotropic analytical algorithm (AAA) and pencil beam convolution (PBC) algorithms of Eclipse treatment planning system (TPS) for dose calculations in the low- and high-dose buildup regions. AAA and PBC algorithms were used to create two intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans of the same optimal fluence generated from a c...
متن کاملThe use of EBT3 film and Delta4 for the dosimetric verification of EclipseTM treatment planning system in a heterogeneous chest phantom: an IMRT technique
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy of EclipseTM treatment planning system (TPS) in a heterogeneous chest phantom with the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique using EBT3 film and Delta4. Materials and Methods: Two IMRT plans (A and B) were prepared for radiotherapy of the heterogeneous chest phantom. Plan A was between the left lung and the surro...
متن کاملVerification of dose calculation algorithms in a multi-layer heterogeneous phantom using films.
UNLABELLED The development of advanced radiation treatment techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) require more accurate dose calculation algorithms within the treatment planning systems (TPS) considering that the human body is composed of tissues of widely differing radiological properties and the characteristics of ...
