Examples

• The radiation oncologist reviewed the isodose distribution to ensure the tumor received adequate treatment.
• Isodose curves on the treatment plan showed how radiation intensity varied across the patient's body.
• The isodose lines helped the medical team identify areas of high and low radiation exposure.
• Modern imaging software displays isodose contours in different colors for easy visualization.
• The physicist calculated isodose values at multiple points to verify the accuracy of the radiation delivery.
