Purpose The goal of this work is to evaluate planning target volume (PTV)-to-skin proximity
versus plan quality as well as the effects of calculation voxel size on dose uncertainty in the …

Purpose: To investigate experimentally the impact of different head-and-neck intensity-
modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning techniques on doses to the skin and shallow …

The purpose of this study was (1) to evaluate dose to skin between volumetric-modulated
arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment techniques …

The physician's planning objective is often a uniform dose distribution throughout the
planning target volume (PTV), including superficial PTVs on or near the surface of a patient's …

This study examined the relationship of achievable mean dose and percent volumetric
overlap of salivary gland with the planning target volume (PTV) in volumetric-modulated arc …

A patient presented with squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, pT2pN2c, stage IIIC status
post radical vulvectomy and bilateral groin dissection. The pathology report revealed close …

Purposes: To improve normal tissue sparing for head-and-neck (H&N) image-guided
radiotherapy (IGRT) by employing treatment plans with tighter margins for CTV 2 and 3, and …

Background Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer has led to a
reduction in radiotherapy doses to normal tissues, like the salivary glands, while maintaining …

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is particularly useful for treating irregularly
shaped planning target volumes (PTVs) whilst minimizing doses to organs at risk (OARs) …

AIM: To evaluate and compare the dosimetric parameters between volumetric modulated arc
therapy (VMAT) and Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in head and neck cancers …
