Experimental Validation of Mathematical Models to Include Biomechanics into Dose Accumulation Calculation in Radiotherapy

Inaccurate dose calculation in radiotherapy can lead to errors in treatment delivery and evaluation of treatment efficacy. Respiration can cause of intra-fractional motions, leading to uncertainties in tumor targeting. These motions should therefore be included in dose calculation. The finite elemen...
