Statistical evaluation of dosimetric differences changes between the Modified Batho's density correction method and the Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm for clinical practice

Abstract: Original Article AbstractPurpose: The aim of this work was to assess and to quantify, for clinical practice, the differences in computed doses using two types of dose calculation algorithm for the heterogeneity correction including target volumes and organs at risk (OARs). Methods: 35 patients having lung, breast, spine, head & neck, brain and pelvic tumors, were studied. For each patient, 2 treatment plans were generated. In plan 1, the dose was calculated using the Modified Batho's (MB) density correction me… Show more

“…Dose differences between different dose planning algorithms, pencil beam and point kernel, is well known and have been published a number of times (23)(24)(25). In the present study we have used the recommend EUD model to compare dose calculation algorithms, as well as to evaluate radiotherapy treatment outcomes.…”
