Abstract
Radiation absorbed dose in lung is measured and calculated using several algorithms available on commercial treatment planning systems. Phantoms resembling the human thorax are used and irradiated with small and large photon beams of 60Co, 4, 6, and 10 MV X ray energies. The applicability and usefulness of the different calculation methods in clinical situations is discussed.Entities:
