Impact of acquisition protocols on accuracy of dose calculation based on xvi cone beam computed tomography

Conclusions: The choice of the adequate CBCT acquisition protocol and the appropriate phantom to determine the HU-ReD calibration curve provides a better precision in the calculation of dose on CBCT images. This allows improving the results obtained when using the HU-ReD calibration method for dose calculation in adaptive radiotherapy.
