Definition of a framework for volumetric modulated arc therapy plan quality assessment with integration of dose-, complexity-, and robustness metrics

Background and purpose: Conventionally, the quality of radiotherapy treatment plans is assessed through visual inspection of dose distributions and dose-volume histograms. This study developed a framework to evaluate plan quality using dose, complexity, and robustness metrics. Additionally, a method...
