Dosimetric comparison of artificial walls of bladder and rectum with real walls in common prostate IMRT techniques: Patient and monte carlo study.

CONCLUSION: The DVH of whole organs was not a good surrogate of the true wall. The 2 mm artificial walls can be regarded as good alternatives for both of rectum and bladder. However, in relative dose evaluations all studied artificial walls were appropriate. PMID: 31904002 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
