A treatment planning study comparing Elekta VMAT and fixed field IMRT using the varian treatment planning system eclipse
BACKGROUND The newest release of the Eclipse (Varian) treatment planning system (TPS) includes an optimizing engine for Elekta volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this new algorithm and to compare it to intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for various disease sites by creating single- and double-arc VMAT plans. METHODS A total of...
متن کاملA study of planning dose constraints for treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma using a commercial inverse treatment planning system.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop and test planning dose constraint templates for tumor and normal structures in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) using a specific commercial inverse treatment planning system. METHODS AND MATERIALS Planning dose constraint templates were developed based on the analyses of dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of tumor targets and adjacent...
متن کاملProton therapy vs. VMAT for prostate cancer: a treatment planning study
Purpose: The main objective of this study was to compare the dosimetric quality of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with that of proton therapy for high-risk prostate cancer. Patients and Materials: Twelve patients with high-risk prostate cancer previously treated with uniform scanning proton therapy (USPT) were included in this study. Proton planning was done using the XiO treatment pla...
متن کاملHyperArc VMAT planning for single and multiple brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery: a new treatment planning approach
PURPOSE The HyperArc VMAT (HA-VMAT) planning approach was newly developed to fulfill the demands of dose delivery for brain metastases stereotactic radiosurgery. We compared the dosimetric parameters of the HA-VMAT plan with those of the conventional VMAT (C-VMAT). MATERIAL AND METHODS For 23 patients (1-4 brain metastases), C-VMAT and HA-VMAT plans with a prescription dose of 20-24 Gy were r...
متن کاملOptimal partial-arcs in VMAT treatment planning.
We present a method for improving the delivery efficiency of VMAT by extending the recently published VMAT treatment planning algorithm vmerge to automatically generate optimal partial-arc plans. A high-quality initial plan is created by solving a convex multicriteria optimization problem using 180 equi-spaced beams. This initial plan is used to form a set of dose constraints, and a set of part...
