The accuracy of Acuros XB algorithm for radiation beams traversing a metallic hip implant — comparison with measurements and Monte Carlo calculations

In this study, the clinical benefit of the improved accuracy of the Acuros XB (AXB) algorithm, implemented in a commercial radiotherapy treatment planning system (TPS), Varian Eclipse, was demonstrated with beams traversing a high‐Z material. This is also the first study assessing the accuracy of th...
