Abstract
Purpose: Virtual dosimetry using voxel-based patient-specific phantoms and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations offer the advantage of having a gold standard against which absorbed doses may be benchmarked to establish the dosimetry accuracy. Furthermore, these reference values assist in investigating the accuracy of the absorbed dose methodologies from different software programs. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the accuracy of the absorbed doses computed using LundADose and OLINDA/EXM 1.0. Methods: . Results: reflects self-doses plus cross-doses. Conclusion: Lu dosimetry for clinical applications.
