Monte Carlo calculations of radiotherapy dose distributions within and around orthopaedic implants

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cancer patients often require a titanium orthopaedic implant to support or replace lost bone. In radiation treatment, the dose distribution is perturbed causing regions of high and low dose at material interfaces. Since the survival of integrating bone tissue is critical to i...
