Dosimetric validation of Acuros XB photon dose calculation algorithm on an indigenously fabricated low-density heterogeneous phantom

The aim of this study was to validate Acuros XB (AXB) algorithm for photon dose calculation on an indigenously fabricated low-density heterogeneous phantom. Phantom was fabricated using poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and racemosa wood. The measured Hounsfield units, relative electron density, and...
