Influence of dose calculation algorithms on the helical diode array using volumetric-modulated arc therapy for small targets

CONCLUSION: The behavior of the dose distribution on the helical diode array differed depending on the dose calculation algorithm for small targets. Measurements using ArcCHECK for VMAT with small targets can have lower GPRs owing to the coarse dose resolution of AXB around the detector area.PMID:38363044 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14307
