Optimizing breast and chest wall treatment planning: Integrating dynamic collimator rotation with static‐angle modulated ports in VMAT radiotherapy
The following are recommended as a starting point for breast and chest wall RAD plans: 2 STAMPs positioned similar to breast tangents, "optimize between static angles" for the dynamic collimator, and a weighting of either (0) balanced, (1) static, or (2) static-dominant. The arc-dominant setting resulted in plans of the lowest quality.
