Using density computed tomography images for photon dose calculations in radiation oncology: A patient study
Background and purpose: Conventional workflows for dose calculations require conversions between Hounsfield Units (HU) and the mass or electron density for Computed Tomography (CT) images in the Treatment Planning System (TPS). These conversions are scanner– and mostly kVp–dependent. A density repre...
