Description
Accurate CT imaging is crucial for precise radiotherapy dose calculations. Contrast agents are often used to enhance tissue delineation in CT scans, and acquiring both contrast-enhanced and non-contrast CT sets is a standard practice in radiotherapy planning. This study aims to investigate the impact of contrast agents on dose calculations for IMRT plans in head and neck cancer patients. For the radiotherapy planning purposes, it is recommended to acquire CCT instead of NCCT, as there is no clinically significant difference in dose calculations based on image set
