Evaluative study between calculated and measured DVHs for advance techniques of radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer Patients by Ibrahim El Hamamsi, Khaled M. Elshahat, A. EL-Shershaby, T.M. Hegazy

“…Both the DVHs calculated by 3DVH and the one projected by TPS were compared using the different parameters for PTV and OAR. In VMAT technique, the %DD was less than 3% for PTV and 4% for OAR while the IMRT technique recorded %DD less than 2% for PTV and 4% for OAR. 3DVH was somewhat more consistent with the planned VMAT verification data compared to ArcCHECK, with a mean gamma pass rate of 99.34% for the 3%/3 mm criterion Based on our results, VMAT is especially beneficial for prostate most cancers treatment.…”
