The Effect of Physical Characteristics of Spinal Implants on Spinal Cord Dose Distribution

The Effect of Physical Characteristics of Spinal Implants on Spinal Cord Dose Distribution

Background: In radiotherapy, the presence of metallic implants affects the dose distribution, depending on beam energy and type, size, material and position of the implant. In this study, the effect of spinal implants on dose distribution was evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: Oncor acce...
