Computed tomography enables the calculation of 3D compensators for radiotherapy dose compensation. These compensators improve dose homogeneity in specific irradiation techniques like total body irradiation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology

Context:

  • Radiotherapy requires precise dose delivery.
  • Complex irradiation fields pose challenges for dose homogeneity.
  • Computed tomography offers advanced imaging for treatment planning.

Purpose:

  • To describe the calculation and application of three-dimensional compensators using computed tomography.
  • To evaluate the dose homogeneity achieved with these compensators.
  • To demonstrate the practical use of compensators in radiotherapy.

Summary:

  • Three-dimensional compensators are calculated using computed tomography for radiotherapy irradiation fields.
  • These compensators are particularly beneficial for shell-type and bilateral total body irradiation.
  • Dose homogeneity was measured using a plexiglas phantom, and practical applications were detailed.
