The impact of mass density variations on an electron Monte Carlo algorithm for radiotherapy dose calculations

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A key step in electron Monte Carlo dose calculation requires converting Computed Tomography (CT) numbers from a tomographic acquisition to a mass density. This study investigates the dosimetric consequences of perturbations applied to a calibration table between CT number and...
