Range accuracy in carbon ion treatment planning based on CT-calibration with real tissue samples

BACKGROUND: The precision in carbon ion radiotherapy depends on the calibration of Hounsfield units (HU) as measured with computed tomography (CT) to water equivalence. This calibration can cause relevant differences between treatment planning and treatment delivery. METHODS: Calibration data for se...
