Four-dimensional dosimetry validation and study in lung radiotherapy using deformable image registration and Monte Carlo techniques
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Thoracic cancer treatment presents dosimetric difficulties due to respiratory motion and lung inhomogeneity. Monte Carlo and deformable image registration techniques have been proposed to be used in four-dimensional (4D) dose calculations to overcome the difficul...
