Abstract

The Radiation Therapy Plan (treatment planning system) has been carried out on the CT Simulator image from Phantom with the addition of contrast agents 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3% on the object. In this study is to determine whether the presence of contrast agents in treatment provides an inaccurate dose representation during the calculation of radiation therapy doses. Contrast agents are used to increase contrast in low contrast images. The contas used are iopromide 370. The contrast agent is injected into identical balloons with a volume of 500 mL with different concentrations, namely 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%. Each balloon was scanned in a water phantom measuring 30x30x30 cm3 with a volume of 25 L water using CT-Simulator. From each scan result a radiation therapy plan is made using eclipse TPS (Treatment Planning System) under the same conditions and techniques (SAD 100 cm, 10 cm deep). The overall data obtained shows that the presence of contrast agents influences the dosimetry produced by up to 3% when compared to identical non-contrast plans.
