The Effect of Contrast Agents on Dose Calculations of Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiotherapy Plans for Critical Structures

The Effect of Contrast Agents on Dose Calculations of Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiotherapy Plans for Critical Structures

Radiotherapy dose calculation requires accurate Computed Tomography (CT) imaging while tissue delineation may necessitate the use of contrast agents (CA). Acquiring these two sets is a common practice in radiotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the effect of CA on the dose calculations. Two hundred...
