A simplified non-coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy for the whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampus avoidance

A simplified non-coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy for the whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampus avoidance

PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility of using a simplified non-coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (NC-VMAT) and investigate its dosimetric advantages compared with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (C-VMAT) for hippocampal-avoidance whole...
