A simple analytical model for a fast 3D assessment of peripheral photon dose during coplanar isocentric photon radiotherapy

Abstract: Considering that cancer survival rates have been growing and that nearly two-thirds of those survivors were exposed to clinical radiation during its treatment, the study of long-term radiation effects, especially secondary cancer induction, has become increasingly important. To correctly assess this risk, knowing the dose to out-of-field organs is essential. As it has been reported, commercial treatment planning systems do not accurately calculate the dose far away from the border of the field; analytical dose… Show more

“…Table 1 summarizes the methods used for experimental data acquisitions in the 21 selected articles. Seven were reported as single-compartment models: the oldest ( 25 ) and the most recent model ( 57 ) belong to this category. The remaining articles were multi-compartment models with sub-models dedicated to each of the dose components.…”

“…Depending on the research groups, measurements were performed by an orthovoltage unit operated at 200 kVp and a cobalt-60 machines ( 25 ), different medical accelerators operated at 6 MV ( 20 , 53 , 57 , 61 , 64 ), 10 MV ( 20 ) and 25 MV ( 25 ). Measurements could have been made for a set of simple geometry open square and rectangular fields ( 25 , 65 ) or, for a set of reference treatment plans-specific beam settings ( 20 , 53 , 57 , 61 , 64 ).…”
