Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy Using Metal Artifact Reduction Computed Tomography in a Patient with Prostate Cancer with Bilateral Hip Prostheses: A Case Report

Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy Using Metal Artifact Reduction Computed Tomography in a Patient with Prostate Cancer with Bilateral Hip Prostheses: A Case Report

Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for prostate cancer is both safe and efficacious; beam range calculations use relative stopping power ratio, which is derived from computed tomography (CT) values. However, hip prostheses are made of high atomic number materials and show severe artifacts on CT images....
