Verification by treatment plan and physical measurement of the monitor unit (MU) objective function for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) lung planning
Abstract:Treatment plan quality was investigated to determine whether the total monitor units (MUs) could be reduced by using the MU objective function within the Eclipse TM planning system (Varian Medical Systems) for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) lung plans. The plans were produced using RapidArc ® (Varian's volumetric modulated arc therapy) technique. This study used physical measurements to assess the deliverability and quality of the resultant plans on the treatment machine. Ten patients (dose pre… Show more
