The impact of intravenous iodinated contrast agents on radiotherapy dose calculation and radiobiological effect predictions in central lung cancer by Defu Yang, Feng Shang, Ying Xu, Ying Yan

“…This study evaluates and compares dosimetric differences and predictions of Tumor Control Probability (TCP) and Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) between the Analytic Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA) and Acuros XB (AXB) algorithm in lung cancer radiotherapy, under both contrast-enhanced and non-contrast enhanced CT conditions.MethodsTwenty patients with centralized lung cancer treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique, including two patients with small cell lung cancer and 18 with non-small cell lung cancer, were selected to undergo CT scanning with and without contrast. …”
