Validation and optimization of dual-energy CT for accurate dose calculation in photon radiotherapy of brain metastases
Both 72 keV VMI and Rho-based DECT reconstructions enable accurate, clinically acceptable dose calculations for stereotactic radiotherapy of brain metastases. These findings support DECT's integration into clinical workflows, enhancing planning precision without increasing operational complexity.
