Why is it important

:

Dose calculation algorithm will be commissioned comparing

measurements with dose calculation in homogeneous and heterogeneous

phantoms

The accuracy of dose calculation in patients will depend on the CT

mapping to some physical descriptor that will be used in the calculation

(electron density, mass density, composition)

Check the calibration curve

for the range of clinically relevant densities and CT settings (kVp)

Data acquisition for CT calibration
