Non-coplanar VMAT plans for lung SABR to reduce dose to the heart: a planning study
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the plan quality of non-coplanar partial arc (NPA) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to that of coplanar partial arc (CPA) VMAT for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for lung cancer.
METHODS: A total of 20 patients treated for lung cancer with the SABR VMAT technique and whose lung tumors were close to the heart were retrospectively selected for this study. For the CPA VMAT, three coplanar …
