Treatment planning – CT scan
•
TPS-dependent solution
•
Map CT-number to relative electron density
(based on CT calibration phantom)
•
Map CT-number to a list of specific materials
(i.e. elemental composition and mass density)
•
Phantom materials
•
E.g. plastics, liquid water
•
May not be included in the conversion table
•
Consider manual material assignment,
e.g. by using an effective mass density
