Abstract Background To evaluate the dosimetric differences between Superposition Convolution SC and Monte Carlo MC calculated dose distributions for simultaneous integrated boost SIB prostate cancer intensity modulated radiotherapy IMRT compared to experimental film measurements and the implications for clinical treatments. Methods Twenty-two prostate patients treated with an in-house SIB-IMRT protocol were selected. SC-based plans used for treatment were re-evaluated with EGS4-based MC .
