Description
The success of radiation therapy treatments is largely dependent on the ability to accurately deliver the prescribed dose to a patient within a narrow tolerance. However, the human body consists of many components, which vary in density and can cause treatment complications. In this research, a methodology is established whereby the effects of high-density medical implants on radiotherapy treatments can be quantified accurately and efficiently. A better understanding of the impact of these medical implants on radiotherapy dose distributions means more accurate treatments can be delivered with increased confidence, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
