Dosimetric verification of stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment plans for early stage non-small cell lung cancer using Monte Carlo simulation
Description
This thesis is an evaluation of the dosimetric accuracy of the dose calculation algorithm used for planning of lung stereotactic body radiotherapy treatments. It specifically investigates the accuracy of the collapsed cone convolution algorithm employed in the Pinnacle3 Radiotherapy Treatment Planning System by using Monte Carlo techniques as an independent verification tool. The thesis also investigates the impact of dose calculation uncertainties on treatment outcome estimation through the use of radiobiological modelling.
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.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
