| Popis: |
In this study, we evaluated a novel 16-bit computed tomography (CT) system optimized for radiotherapy planning. Over six months, using various protocols, we conducted 616 scans, with an average of four CT series per session imported into our treatment planning software (TPS). The direct density (DD) reconstruction enabled a single CT number calibration curve for multiple tube voltages. Metal artifacts could be effectively reduced. The 16-bit character permitted dose calculation in high-density regions, while TPS integration challenges remained. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the system's potential benefits and considerations in radiotherapy workflows. |
