Three Dimensional Dose Planning Using 6MV X-ray and Multiaxial Computed Tomography for Pituitary Adenoma

  • 1. Hanyang University College of Medicine, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Computation of three dimensional dose distribution using CT image and RT plan was applied to a case of pituitary adenoma. Algorithm was based on two dimensional Tissue Maximum Ratio model extended to the third dimension. The resulting isodose curve of transeverse, coronal and sagittal section was demonstrated. This RT plan allows computation of dose distribution in any arbitarily defined plane in addition to conventional cross sectional view
