A phantom based evaluation of the dose prediction and effects in treatment plans, when calculating on a direct density CT reconstruction

In radiation therapy, a Computed Tomography (CT) image is needed for an accurate dose calculation. To allow such a calculation, the CT image values have to be converted into relative electron densities. Thus, standard procedure is to calibrate the CT numbers to relative electron density (RED) by usi...
