Medical ethics is an important constitutes of medicine project. The medical ethics of military has its particularity and realism meaning. Combined with the spirit of anti-SARS and the actuality of military medicine ethnics,we must adopt some availability measure to promote the education of military medicine ethnics.

Objective To compare the dose difference between the 12-bit and 16-bit CT images containing metallic implants calculated by different algorithms. Methods The titanium alloy rod was inserted into the phantom and subject to CT scan and then the 12-bit and 16-bit CT images were reconstructed. The CT images were online transmitted to the Monaco planning system and a 0° of single field was designed. The dose distribution was calculated by PB (Pencil Beam), CC (Collapsed Cone) and MC (Monte Carlo) algorithms, respectively. The CT-ED curve was expanded and the dose was recalculated. The depth dose curve through the center of the metallic implants along with the direction of the field was obtained by using the Matlab 8. 3 statistical software. The dose distribution curves between 12-bit and 16-bit CT images calculated by different algorithms and the dose difference of varying distances between the incident and the exit surfaces of metallic implants were statistically compared. The dose was measured by thimble chamber. Results The 16-bit CT images accurately read the CT values of the metallic implants. After the CT-ED curve was expanded, the dose on the incident surface of metallic implant was reduced by 5. 43% and that on the exit surface was increased by 25. 56% calculated by PB algorithm compared with MC algorithm. The dose on the posterior exit surface was higher than that of MC algorithm. The dose on the incident surface of metallic surface was decreased by 4. 5%, whereas that on the exit surface was reduced by 4. 31% using CC algorithm. The dose on the posterior exit surface was more significantly reduced. The calculated values by MC algorithm were the most close to the measured values. Conclusions Application of 16-bit CT image, CT-ED curve expansion of the treatment planning system combined with MC algorithm can enhance the accuracy of dose calculation for the patients containing metallic implants during radiotherapy.
