An optimized VMAT planning technique for hippocampal‐sparing whole‐brain radiotherapy

Using an intermediate plan in VMAT optimization, both the 2-arc coplanar plans and 4-arc noncoplanar plans meet RTOG 0933 criteria with a great margin, while the 4-arc noncoplanar VMAT planning method for HA-WBRT further improves the hippocampus sparing, as well as whole brain PTV coverage and dose homogeneity.

Abstract

Using an intermediate plan in VMAT optimization, both the 2-arc coplanar plans and 4-arc noncoplanar plans meet RTOG 0933 criteria with a great margin, while the 4-arc noncoplanar VMAT planning method for HA-WBRT further improves the hippocampus sparing, as well as whole brain PTV coverage and dose homogeneity.
