Résumé
Metallic implants (MIs) complicate radiotherapy planning. Several studies have worked on tissue-equivalent phantoms as experimental models to estimate dose distributions in this context. The application of these results to clinical practice remains disputable because the inhomogeneity of human tissue densities is a difficult factor to integrate into dose calculation software. In this work, we evaluate the impact of human tissue inhomogeneities by assessing the discrepancies between treatment planning system (TPS) dose calculations and measured delivered doses on a human cadaver with hip prostheses.
