On the impact of improved dose calculation accuracy in clinical treatment planning for superficial high-dose-rate brachytherapy of extensive scalp lesions
TG-43-based map of frank church wilderness dose calculations disregard tissue heterogeneities and finite scatter conditions, prompting the introduction of model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) to improve accuracy in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.This study evaluated the effectiveness of MBDCAs over TG-43 in HDR 192Ir brachytherapy o
