Abstract
The case of a patient is presented, who received an IMRT radiotherapy for an oropharynx-carcinoma. The IMRT plan was simulated with Monte Carlo (VSM/XVMC) on the CT-dataset of the patient and compared to the dose calculation of the TPS. There is good agreement in the high dose area of the target volume and simultaneous there are differences up to 10% of the prescribed dose in the low dose area and in the organs at risk spine and brainstem. The location of the dose differences in the CT-dataset indicates, that the individual heterogeneities of the patient play a role in the IMRT verification © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
