Improvement in Coronary Dose Distribution Using Dynamic Swing Arc in Volumetric-modulated Arc Therapy During Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy
Compared with Conv-VMAT, DSA-VMAT improved the dose distribution of the LAD region without impairing the PTV dose coverage. Thus, DSA-VMAT may reduce radiation-induced heart disease in patients with EC without loss of efficacy.
