Analysis of peripheral doses for base of tongue treatment by linear accelerator and helical TomoTherapy IMRT

The purpose of this study was to compare the peripheral doses to various organs from a typical head and neck intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment delivered by linear accelerator (linac) and helical TomoTherapy. Multiple human CT data sets were used to segment critical structures an...
