Abstract

Quality assurance dosimetry often requires the comparison of measured doses with those calculated by a treatment-planning system for phantoms of density other than 1.000 g/cm3. The presence of an artifact in the Pinnacle3 treatment-planning system can lead to systematic errors in such cases. These errors are also present, although reduced in magnitude, in heterogeneous media.
