Dosimetric impact of iodinated contrast agent on planning CT for volumetric-modulated radiotherapy of head and neck cancer
Performing volumetric-modulated arc therapy planning directly on contrast-enhanced CT scans leads to minimal dosimetric variations (less than 1 %) compared to non-contrast CT scans. This approach could streamline clinical workflows by eliminating the need for dual CT acquisitions and optimizing treatment preparation.
