Dosimetric evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging based synthetic computed tomography for head and neck photon and proton therapy
While sCT seems feasible for photon therapy, poorer agreement between pCT- and sCT-calculated proton dose was found. Patient positioning differences between CT and MRI may partly explain the discrepancies between pCT- and sCT-calculated proton dose.
