Dose to medium in head and neck radiotherapy: Clinical implications for target volume metrics
Background and purpose: In radiotherapy dose calculation, advanced type-B dose calculation algorithms can calculate dose to medium (Dm), as opposed to Type-B algorithms which compute dose to varying densities of water (Dw). We investigate the impact of Dm on calculated dose and target coverage metri...
