<![CDATA[Treatment Planning System (TPS) are used to determine the dosedistribution to be received before the irradiation in patients. To see how much radiation dose to be received on the target volume and surrounding critical organs that are required isodose curve. 2D isodose curves correction on non-homogeneous tissues done because in fact the human body not only in the form of soft tissue, but there are also other tissues such as bone tissue or lung. Isodose curve correction have been made using Tissue Air Ratio (TAR) method with Matlab software on a wide field of 10 x 10 cm2. Correction factor is obtained by comparing the effective depth of the TAR with TAR at each depth. Correction factor multiplied by the curve isodose for homogeneous phantom have been obtained from Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and dose profiles. Corrected isodose curves obtained for nonhomogeneous phantom. Higher the density value on nonhomogeneous phantom, the attenuation will increase and produce the lower dose.
