Rectal Gas-Induced Dose Changes in Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer: An In Silico Study
Rectal gas removal may not be necessary up to 4 fx. Moreover, indicators related to dose changes based on DRR images were highly correlated with dose changes, revealing the possibilities of estimating dose changes due to rectal gas from kV-x-ray images and using gas effect evaluation during CIRT irradiation.
