Comparison of Gonadal Dose Estimation Using Treatment Planning Systems and Monte Carlo Methods in Pelvic Radiotherapy.

INTRODUCTION Unintended irradiation of organs outside the target volume remains a concern in pelvic radiotherapy, particularly for radiosensitive structures such as the gonads. Analytical dose calculation algorithms used in treatment planning systems (TPS) may underestimate out-of-field doses. Monte Carlo (MC) methods...
