Aim: To study the dosimetric differences of using different energy in the case of lung SBRT VMAT treatment planning.
Materials & Methods: A total of 12 patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (36 plans) with PTV of 63.3cc to 115.4cc were selected for this
study retrospectively. Three different treatment plans were generated using 6XFF, 6XFFF, and 10XFFF energies with same optimization constraints
to deliver 60Gy in 8 fractions with two partial arcs on Eclipse TPS. A progressive resolution optimizer and Acuros algorithm were employed for
optimization and dose calculation, respectively. Planning evaluation was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively for PTV and OARs doses, as
per RTOG guidelines (0813/0915). Delivery quality assurance for each plan was performed using the PTW Octavious-4D phantom. In addition, t.. Read More»
