An investigation into factors affecting electron density calibration for a megavoltage cone‐beam CT system

There is a growing interest in the use of megavoltage cone‐beam computed tomography (MV CBCT) data for radiotherapy treatment planning. To calculate accurate dose distributions, knowledge of the electron density (ED) of the tissues being irradiated is required. In the case of MV CBCT, it is necessar...
