Dosimetry Effects Caused by Unilateral and Bilateral Hip Prostheses: A Monte Carlo Case Study in Megavoltage Photon Radiotherapy for Computed Tomography Data without Metal Artifacts

BACKGROUND: Hip prostheses (HPs) are routinely used in hip augmentation to replace painful or dysfunctional hip joints. However, high-density and high-atomic-number (Z) inserts may cause dose perturbations in the target volume and interface regions. AIM: To evaluate the dosimetric influence of vario...
