Evaluation of Carbon Ion Radiation-Induced Trismus in Head and Neck Tumors Using Dose-Volume Histograms

Carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) provides a highly localized deposition of energy that can increase radiation doses to tumors while minimizing irradiation of adjacent normal tissues. For tumors located near the temporomandibular joint, C-ion RT-induced trismus may occur. However, the relationship...
