Dosimetric investigation of couch rotation angles in non-coplanar VMAT plans for lung cancer SBRT
In the treatment of lung cancer using SBRT, ncVMAT plans demonstrate superior dose distribution and deliver lower doses to certain OARs compared to cVMAT plans. This advantage becomes more pronounced with increasing couch rotation angles. Our study offers theoretical support for the preferential use of ncVMAT plans in lung cancer SBRT and provides empirical evidence to guide the selection of optimal couch rotation angles.
