Evaluating the effect of low-density inhomogeneities: A comparative study of lithium fluoride detectors, radiochromic films, and collapsed cone algorithm in 6 MV photon beams.

In recent years, there has been significant advancement in the development of physical simulators for dose evaluation. Many dosimetric studies employ solid materials, equivalent to human tissues, to evaluate dose distribution. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inhomogeneity correction carried out by the Monaco/Elekta radiotherapy planning software.
