The impact of scanning data measurements on the Acuros dose calculation algorithm configuration

Abstract Background Many dose calculation algorithms for radiotherapy planning need to be configured for each clinical beam using pre-defined measurements. An optimization process adjusts the physical parameters able to estimate the energy released in the medium in any geometrical condition. This wo...
