Feasibility of optimal vertex size and spacing for lattice radiotherapy implementation using helical tomotherapy
This study quantitatively analyzed the impact of various vertex sizes and spacings on VPDR in lattice radiotherapy using helical tomotherapy. VPDR decreased with increasing vertex size and spacing, with consistently lower values in the SI direction. These findings provide crucial insights for optimizing LRT plans. The identified relationships between the parameters and VPDR offer a foundation for developing more effective LRT protocols in helical tomotherapy, potentially improving therapeutic outcomes.
