Dosimetry of ionising radiation is a well-established and mature branch of physical sciences
with many applications in medicine and biology. In particular radiotherapy relies on …

The charge of Task Group 186 (TG‐186) is to provide guidance for early adopters of model‐
based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy (BT) dose calculations to …

This review addresses the theme of dose calculation accuracy in the case of the stereotactic
treatment of lung lesions. Based on the classical categories of type “a”,“b” and “c” algorithms …

Purpose: Recommendations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)
and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) on dose calculations for …

Purpose: The dosimetric accuracy of the recently released Acuros® XB advanced dose
calculation algorithm (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) is investigated for single …

Purpose: The deterministic Acuros XB (AXB) algorithm was recently implemented in the
Eclipse treatment planning system. The goal of this study was to compare AXB performance …

Background A study was realised to evaluate and determine relative figures of merit of a
new algorithm for photon dose calculation when applied to inhomogeneous media. Methods …

The accuracy of dose calculation is a key challenge in stereotactic body radiotherapy
(SBRT) of the lung. We have benchmarked three photon beam dose calculation algorithms …

Linac calibration is done in water, but patients are comprised primarily of soft tissue.
Conceptually, and specified in NRG/RTOG trials, dose should be reported as dose‐to …

Introduction The main aim of the current study was to assess the dosimetric accuracy and
clinical quality of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for stereotactic (stage I) …
