An inhomogeneity correction algorithm for irregular fields of high‐energy photon beams based on Clarkson integration and the 3D beam subtraction method

A number of treatment‐planning systems still use conventional correction methods for body inhomogeneities. Most of these methods (power law method, tissue—air ratio (TAR), etc.) consider only on‐axis points, rectangular fields, and inhomogeneous slabs covering the whole irradiating field. A new meth...
