Abstract

Continuing with Anisotropic Analytic Model (AAA) radiotherapy research/improvements, new 3D Isodoses graphics are presented for beam-modification Treatment Planning Optimization TPO with Wedge Filters (WF). Results for 3D Isodose Graphics for [ z= 5, 15 cm ], based on all these algorithms/software, are developed for AAA model 18 Mev Iphoton-beam. Solutions for primary demonstration of 3D Isodose Charts, in Type 1 [ Vertical 3D Isodoses ], and Type 2 [ Horizontal 3D Isodoses are presented ] in contrast to classical 2D Isodoses. 3D Isodoses radiotherapy simulations software is explained through the 3D graphics series elaboration. TPO applications with WF, and beam modification devices in general, for breast tumors are shown.
