Figure 2

Comparison of dose distribution calculated using AAA and AXB dose calculation algorithms for mid-oesophageal cancer. Left: Coronal slice of RapidArc plan calculated using AAA showing the dose distribution for a mid-oesophageal cancer patient with the largest proportion of lung tissue in the PTV (red contour, total size of 529 cm3). The dose colour scale ranges from 75% (blue) to 102% (red) of the prescribed dose of 50 Gy. Right: The same RapidArc plan recalculated using the AXB dose calculation algorithm (for the same patient, with the same dose scale) showing a reduction in dose, particularly in soft tissue in the interior of the PTV.
