Using three-dimensional equieffective dose mapping to audit a methodology for calculating permitted doses for head and neck reirradiation
A simple, isodose-based approach to spinal cord and brainstem reirradiation tolerance calculation has been shown to be safe when retrospectively compared with voxel-wise EQD<sub>2/2</sub> mapping. This method can be implemented in any planning system capable of generating contours from isodose lines, offering a practical alternative where advanced EQD<sub>2/2</sub> dose accumulation software is unavailable.
