Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Computerized Treatment planning system (TPS) is an integral part of radiation treatment procedure. The main part of treatment planning system is a calculation algorithm incorporated in the Treatment Planning System. Various algorithms used in the TPS have capabilities and limitation on specific situations. Objective: The objective of the work is to analyse the depth dose distribution generated by different dose calculation algorithms used in TPS in regions of low and high dose gradient. Materials and Methods: Four different dose calculation algorithms used for treatment planning such as Modified Clarkson, Sector integration, Fast Fourier Transform, Convolution- Superposition algorithm were used to generate the percentage depth dose distribution in a water phantom up to 25 cm depth. The values are compared with experimental results using Radiation Field Analyser. The PDD values also generated at build up region and the values were compared with experimental results using a Parallel plate ionization chamber. Results: The results show that the dose calculated by different algorithms shows difference at build up region and at larger depths.
