The difficulty in identifying these mechanisms arises from the multitude of factors that play a significant role during the phase transition. FeRh-based alloys are among the most typical systems exhibiting a first-order phase transition from the antiferromagnetic to the ferromagnetic state. Despite the fact that the iron–rhodium alloy possesses a relatively simple crystal structure and does not change the symmetry of its crystal lattice during the phase transition, a number of features in the behavior of its physical properties are observed.

However, due to the specific interactions of photon radiation with matter in cases of significant tissue heterogeneity, radiotherapy planning necessitates assessing the robustness of the plan or developing a plan resilient to existing dose delivery uncertainties. This study tested the robustness of radiotherapy plans to geometric uncertainties using two irradiation technologies: CRT (conformal radiation therapy) and IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy). A total of 15 patient plans with metallic prostheses were analyzed. The patient’s position relative to the isocenter of the irradiation beams was geometrically shifted to simulate potential patient setup errors. Data on actual displacements obtained during pretreatment visualization—approximately 25 000 treatment fractions for patients with various tumor localizations—were analyzed. According to the results of the study, the probability of not achieving the required dose distribution for the clinical target volume is no more than <span>(0.04pm 0.03%)</span> when using the CRT technique and no more than <span>(7pm 4%)</span> when using IMRT. Thus, the CRT plans demonstrated greater robustness with respect to the target compared to IMRT plans.
