Abstract

A convolution/superposition-based treatment planning system (ADAC Pinnacle) was modified and used to determine the dose distribution within the body from kilovoltage x rays. The average lung doses calculated by the planning system were compared to those of a widely used organ dose calculation program (CDI3) for 32 different field sizes and orientations using a standard man phantom. Following this, the system was used to compute average lung doses from a simulated ablation procedure. Results show that a treatment planning system can be a viable tool to calculate organ doses in the diagnostic energy range.
