Does Vertebroplasty Affect Radiation Dose Distribution?: Comparison of Spatial Dose Distributions in a Cement-Injected Vertebra as Calculated by Treatment Planning System and Actual Spatial Dose Distribution

Figure 1

The middle phantom is a number 23 RANDO phantom. The upper and lower phantoms are water-equivalent phantoms modeled after the anthropomorphic phantom, and a test hole corresponding to the second lumbar vertebral body has been hollowed out. Testing sample such as PMMA and Toughwater Phantom is set in the hole.
