Table 1 CT to voxel mass density and material type conversion for photons, electrons and positrons in both Precision MC and IDC
From: Benchmarking Monte-Carlo dose calculation for MLC CyberKnife treatments
CT data conversion | Precision MC | IDC | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Voxel mass density | Voxel material type | Voxel mass density | Voxel material type | |
Particle type | ||||
Photons (primary and secondary) | User defined CT-HU to mass density calibration curve, identical to IDC | Mass density to material type. Material is either air, soft tissue, or bone | User defined CT-HU to mass density calibration curve, identical to Precision MC | CT material calibration curve based on Vanderstraeten et al 2017 |
Electrons and Positrons | As above | Water | As above | As above |
