Development of a novel low‐radiation‐absorbent lok‐bar to reduce X‐ray scattering and absorption in RapidArc(®) treatment planning and dose delivery

We developed a novel low‐radiation‐absorbent lok‐bar (HM‐bar) that is used to secure the immobilizers to the couch. The aim of this study was to investigate the X‐ray scattering and absorption properties of the HM‐bar in computed tomography (CT) simulation and radiotherapy dose delivery using the Va...
