Monte Carlo calculation based on hydrogen composition of the tissue for MV photon radiotherapy
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that Monte Carlo treatment planning systems require tissue characterization (density and composition) as a function of CT number. A discrete set of tissue classes with a specific composition is introduced. In the current work we demonstrate that, for mega...
