Abstract







Objective: Metallic implants have impacts on
dose distribution of radiotherapy. Our purpose is evaluating impact of
metallic implants with different dose calculation algorithms on dose
distribution.


Material and
Methods: Two
patients with metallic implants on vertebral body were included in this
study. They were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy. The data of the
patients were retrospectively re-calculated with different TPSs and
calculation algorithms. Ray-Tracing (Ry-Tc), Monte-Carlo (MC), Acuros XB
(AXB) and analytical anisotropic algorithms (AAA) were compared.


Results: Ry-Tc, AAA and AXB underestimated
minimum and maximum doses of target volumes and critical organs compared with
MC.


Conclusion: MC seems more reliable for dose
calculations in patients with metallic implants but more studies with more
number of patients should be done to identify the best dose calculation
algorithm for patients with metallic implants.
