Dosimetric effect of cobalt-chrome stabilization hardware in paraspinal radiation treatments

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Grace Tang et al. from the Department of Medical Physics, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, USA have published the research: Dosimetric Effect of Cobalt-Chrome Stabilization Hardware in Paraspinal Radiation Treatments, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: In addition to the intrinsic limitation in dose calculation accuracy in the treatment planning system, dosimetric uncertainty is increased with cobalt-chrome spinal hardware, especially when the incorrect HU value is assigned due to CT saturation.

SUMMARY

    Metallic implants consisting of screw-rod systems are frequently used to reconstruct and stabilize the . . .
