Abstract:Objective:
The aim of the study is to compare the accuracy of dose calculation for different dose calculation algorithms with different prescription points (air, tissue, air–tissue interface in carcinoma lung patients and bone, tissue, and bone–tissue interface in carcinoma buccal Mucosa tumors).
Materials and Methods:
Forty-one patients with carcinoma lung and buccal mucosa were retrospectively selected for this study. A three-dimensional conformal rad… Show more
