Abstract:
PURPOSE: A comparative analysis of the three most advanced intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques currently commercially available was performed. Treatment plans made in rotational techniques (helical tomotherapy [HT] and RapidArc) were compared with sliding-window IMRT (dIMRT) on a conventional linear accelerator using different leaf thicknesses (2.5 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm). The influence of the different planning techniques on the coverage of planning volume and sparing of organs at r...     »
