Description
There are many available options today for treating small lesion cancer cells. Two of the
most used options are the planning systems BrainLab and Eclipse. The main difference between
the two is the algorithms that are used to calculate the dose distribution of external beam
radiation therapy. BrainLab offers a Monte Carlo based algorithm while Eclipse utilizes the
Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm. An investigative study on the quality of the planning system
is done for cases in lung, head and neck and prostate. In particular, lung cases are highly
heterogeneous which can lead to problems in the calculation. The ability to be able to plan on the
best system for individual cases can lead to better and more consistent treatments for cancer
patients.
